Professional headshot of David Faulkner, computer scientist and AI researcher

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.
