I’m David (Davo) Faulkner—a computer scientist and software engineer committed to the disciplined craft of building secure, reproducible, and principled infrastructures. My path into computing began early, sparked by a TRS-80 in a small Kentucky classroom where curiosity outpaced resources, and the elegance of structured logic became a lifelong pursuit.

After refining my sensibility for systems and precision through years in professional audio production, I formally realigned with computing—earning a computer science degree (4.0 GPA) to ground my work in technical depth and reproducibility.

Today, my focus is the frontier of artificial intelligence—not as spectacle, but as a disciplined inquiry into cognition itself. I reject mysticism and exceptionalism in favor of rigorous exploration: machines that learn, reason, and adapt expand our understanding of thought as an emergent, constructive process.

Through principled system design, transparent methodologies, and a commitment to clarity over complexity, I aim to contribute to a future where intelligence—whether organic or synthetic—is cultivated with rigor, responsibility, and intellectual integrity.

The future of intelligence—human and machine—rests on the foundations we choose today: principled systems, ethical design, and the pursuit of clarity.
