About

Greetings! My name is David Chambers and I'm a software developer based in San Francisco.

I work at Atlassian with a fantastic team dedicated to making Bitbucket awesome. I've studied graphic design and computer science, both of which are relevant in my role as a (primarily front-end) developer. In a typical work day I write CSS, jQuery, and Python, and in my spare time I'm rewriting our Django templates to use meaningful markup.

My open source projects are hosted on Bitbucket; Mango and jQuery.localize are the most substantial.

Me with friends at the Luge in Rotorua

I love Python, Django, JavaScript (thanks to Douglas Crockford), pixel art, Coda, Growl, elegant code, and things that work. I dislike badly-designed interfaces, badly-documented APIs, brussel sprouts, and making spelling mistakes.

I hope to design a typeface someday.

Feel free to follow me on Twitter. I tweet sporadically and infrequently.
