David Hansen
Old-school hacker instincts, modern AI tooling, and production-minded engineering for teams that need customer-facing systems, backend services, automations, and hosting that keeps running.
Base Arizona
Signal hacker since the 90s
Mode build, host, maintain
Consulting lanes
Practical systems, sharpened by AI.
I work across ecommerce, financial trading, SaaS platforms, and other businesses where software is the operating surface. The common thread is direct, technical problem-solving from someone who has been immersed in technology since the modem era.
Customer-facing systems
Web apps, portals, checkout flows, dashboards, and product surfaces where speed, clarity, and reliability matter.
Backend systems
APIs, data models, integrations, workers, reporting paths, and operational code that keeps the business moving.
Automation
Workflow glue, data movement, vendor integrations, and recurring jobs that remove manual steps without adding mystery.
Managed hosting
Deployment, monitoring, production fixes, upgrades, and ongoing hosting management for clients who want one accountable technical owner.
Rescue work
Stabilization, performance passes, migration planning, and focused debugging for systems that are already in motion.
Operating style
Old-school hacker, current tooling.
My workflow is AI-oriented, but the judgment is old-school: understand the machine, trace the real failure path, keep the moving parts legible, and ship in tight increments. I use modern tools aggressively without handing them the steering wheel.
