David Tejada

Hi there, I'm David.
Front End Developer, Electronic Engineer and lifelong learner.

About Me

I first started programming when I was in university. I started learning C++ and found it very enjoyable. I even made my final degree project using C++.

It wasn't until years later that I did my first incursion in web development. It was around 2008. I had created a small community of photography enthusiast and I made a website composed of a blog and a forum to share our pictures and experiences. I remember that I used Joomla and that in order to create rounded corners you had to use background images. Fun times!

More recently I decided to focus my efforts on becoming a software developer. It was something that I missed and that I was passionate about. My first big project was a browser extension. I had started using voice to control my computer and one thing that I found lacking was the ability to easily control the browser by voice. The solutions up to that point were unsatisfying to me. So I set myself to create something better. It took me hundreds of hours and had to overcome many challenges but I am very happy with the result. Rango, the extension to control your browser by voice is used by me and a several hundred other people everyday.

When I'm not coding I enjoy taking walks to the beach, walking my cats (Yes, with a leash!) and eating pizza.
