Hi! I'm Dave, and I'm a Jira admin[1]. 👋
Glad you asked! I help teams on Community and off Community with their project, work, and knowledge management challenges. As a (recovering) project manager, I practice project management habits that I enjoy sharing with others. Every playground needs rules so no one gets hurt. Likewise, work teams need working agreements [2] to ensure the free flow of information, labor, and beer. Always beer. 🍻
Nope! Aside from some of Atlassian's products, I love coffee. One of my favorite cafes to work from is Republique of Coffee in Paris. Nowadays, I pretend I'm working there by staring at their Instagram, @republiqueofcoffee and sighing a lot.
Lately I've been downing a lot of 787 Coffee's rum espresso. Yes, rum espresso! It's a treat; you can taste notes of rum, and there's no alcohol in it. Go to their NYC East Village location and tell them I sent you! (I guarantee they'll be confused.)
p.s. I love smartphones. I used to rock keyboarded devices and I've used everything under the sun. Portable devices let me carry a ton of novels in my pocket, and even read them sometimes. Back when I had a long subway commute, this was key. 📱
