👋 I'm David Hagman

I'm an ex-political scientist turned programmer, designer, project manager, engineering manager, product manager and now architect. Over the past 20+ years I've worked with many teams and some of the biggest companies in the world. I'm certain you've come across my work without knowing it.

I love helping small teams thrive by sharing thoughtful, privacy-first solutions and sustainable tools, whether they’re carefully designed web apps or programs for Apple devices. I focus on tools that prioritize user experience, security, and harmony, empowering you to work smarter while staying in control of your data. With decades of experience, I’m here to guide and inspire you to create workflows that are both efficient and balanced.

Curiosity is my personal publication, launched on January 1, 2025. It’s a natural continuation of where my journey began—a space where my passion for exploration and digital innovation meets my drive to share insights and practical solutions. My mission is to highlight the best tools and strategies for secure, efficient, and delightful workflows.

I still remember the first time I picked up a controller, an Atari 2600, way too big for my small hands. But that didn’t matter. Playing Pong sparked a joy and curiosity in me that hasn’t left. That moment set me on a path to exploring new digital experiences, and it’s the same energy I bring to every project and challenge today.

Over the last two decades, that curiosity has guided me through problem-solving, creating smarter tools, and championing thoughtful approaches to technology. Time and time again, I’ve learned that success isn’t about doing more—it’s about working smarter. I focus on tools that empower people and teams while staying true to core values of privacy, security, and simplicity.

You can also find me on LinkedIn or through my business, Aeonik. I’d love to connect, share ideas, and explore how we can make technology work better for you. My goal is to help you discover practical solutions that make your work smoother, your team stronger, and your digital world more balanced and secure.
