My Portfolio Is Also My Engineering Lab
Read this blog if you want to also turn a personal portfolio into a small engineering lab for yourself.
Design Engineer
David Clinton
I design and build developer-facing product surfaces: docs, dashboards, technical websites, native Android workflows, diagrams, and reusable UI systems.
My work sits between design and code. I turn complex backend, data, and infrastructure workflows into clear interfaces, useful documentation, and production-ready frontend/mobile systems using React, Next.js, TypeScript, Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Postgres, and AI-assisted engineering tools.
