I'm David Ko. I live in Toronto, where the magic happens 🪄.

From a young age, I was fascinated with creating things. Whether it was music, art or code, I was always making something. I'm a curious person and I love learning new things. What I enjoy most about programming is that it's a blank canvas that I can use to create anything I want.

I was born into an entrepreneurial family, as my father started an engineering company in China in the mid 90's. Having spent summers in Nanjing and Shanghai in the midst of the world's largest economic boom, I was exposed to the hustle and energy required to build a business from the ground up and I apply that experience everyday to my work and daily life.

When I'm not coding or thinking about product design, you can find me searching endlessly for new music and messing around with my turntables, shucking some West Coast oysters or trying to wrangle my two energetic kids while spending some quality time with my family.
