Hi, I'm David Coulter

David Coulter

I am a software engineer with a vibrant background that spans from military training/testing, surveillance/intelligence, and logistics. After many different careers, trying to find my path in this life, I am thrilled to finally be a part of the world of software engineering, which has always been my true passion.

I’m currently juggling life as a devoted father, a loving husband, and a grad student at the University of Arizona, where I’m pursuing a Master’s in Software Engineering. My academic journey builds on the B.S. in Systems Engineering that I earned in 2023.

My career has been a wild ride through various roles—think of it as a diverse playlist of experiences! I’ve picked up a lot of valuable skills along the way. I’m well-versed in C++, Java, Python, and Agile methodologies, and I thrive on solving complex problems and collaborating with diverse teams.

When I’m not coding or studying, you can find me enjoying time with my family, our two dogs, and dreaming about the next big tech project. I’m passionate about using technology to make a difference and am excited about what’s ahead.
