🤩
RockstarDave Balmer is a veteran software leader and CEO with a lifelong passion for programming that began in 1976 and spans 16+ years of formal experience across startups and large tech firms. He blends hands-on front-end craftsmanship—evident in his contributions to the lightweight jo HTML5 UI framework—with executive leadership at companies he founded or leads, including LudoNode and Gobico.
