Dave is the primary maintainer of the MusicBrainz servers (stats) developing most of the server software for them, and making sure that they continue to run smoothly.
After a BSc in mathematics at Southampton University, Dave first worked for Watford Electronics before moving on to Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), where he coded in C against Ingres, Informix and Oracle databases. Dave then went to work for Transatlantic Software, where he gained experience in SQL Server and UNIX before working on database-driven web sites written in Perl. Since December 2000 Dave has worked for Power Internet, where plays with mod_perl and generally maintains Powernet's servers.
Dave found MusicBrainz in July 2002 (and then promptly lost it again until October). Although somewhat rusty through lack of practice, he can still play the violin. Just about.
