Engineering @ Expensify


My name is David Drake. I am a father and technologist who revels in creating things and tackling difficult problems.


I appreciate the outdoors very much. I enjoy good humans, clean water, aromatic coffee, and Oregon botanical varietals. I was an actor for many years. I am very fond of science; particularly astronomy and quantum physics. I like to grow things and travel. Commodore 64 tattoo and a fan of Apple and The NY Times. I am constantly learning and love to teach.


Everything I say is my own opinion and not representative of any organization.
