    About 

    Chirag Davé is an experienced engineer who loves to solve hard problems. She develops for apple platforms, and writes low-level graphics code with Metal. Chirag has worked for 15 years at companies of different sizes, and some of her own. She has been the 1st engineering hire, 8th, and 80th (or something). 




    Passionate

    I love thinking about code, how we build things, and why. I believe the right design, from mockups to software architecture, can lead to a revolution in the mind of the end user. I find the most interesting software can expand a person's capabilities and imagination, allowing for possibilities even the creator would not have considered.


    Some kind words from my clients

    Chirag is phenomenal on many levels: incredibly kind and enjoyable to collaborate with, able to achieve the impossible, and with a keen eye for both performance and quality of experience. I strongly recommend working with Chirag! - Rob Phillips, Riva Health

    We engaged with Chirag to work on a difficult exploratory project that we weren't confident was technically feasible. Working quite independently, Chirag researched, architected, developed, and tested a code library that solved the problem beautifully. That code is now part of our production app - Ken Hirsh

    Our application is so much stronger because of your work and influence - Sunhaus, LLC
