Oh hey, I'm David Chico Pham.

I am a Senior Data Privacy Engineer at The Washington Post. I'm a self-taught dev with an unconventional perspective -- my background is in history and sociology. The blend of humanities and technology gives me a distinctive viewpoint in my field and craft.

As a first-generation American, a Mid-Western, working class, mixed race Buddhist, I didn't fit in growing up. Community, to me was a strange abstract that I didn't get. As it turns out, there is not such thing as Community™. Rather, it's how we related to one another and how we treat each other that makes community meaningful.

In my spare time I work on making sourdoughs bread, I tinker with old ipods, and I play a lot Destiny 2 -- Warlock main. You can find me on various online platforms & communities.

You can find out more about me, what I use, the books that I have been reading and what I am up to now.
