About Me

Picture of David WeinzimmerHi, I’m David. I’m a full-stack software engineer. My primary web development experience is in full-stack PHP, JavaScript (ES6, React, Node.js, Express), and SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL).

My prior professional experience is in transportation planning, consulting, and project management, both in the private sector and within government. I have masters degrees in Transportation Engineering (M.S.) and City Planning (M.C.P.) from the University of California, Berkeley. Go Bears! 🐻

When I’m not thinking about technology or transportation, I also enjoy food, reading, learning languages, and getting outside on a Citi Bike! 🗽🚲

Some Books I’ve Enjoyed

Random, but why not! If you’re going to purchase any of these books, consider shopping through Black Garnet Books on Bookshop.org!

  • Sister, Outsider by Audre Lorde, an incredible collection of essays
  • The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith, a stunningly beautiful novel that became the film Carol
  • How We Fight For Our Lives by Saeed Jones, I could not stop talking about this memoir
  • Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin is from a similar era as The Price of Salt (1956 and 1952 respectively); I couldn’t believe it was written then. Beautiful and moving.
  • How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi was an important starting point for me on better understanding and committing to being antiracist
  • Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty despite being a pretty big book was a page turner the whole way through for me
  • The Great Believers by Rebecca Makai was a book I was so sad to finish because I wanted more time with these characters
