David Gluzman’s Summary

Working with technology and on the web since 1992, I have grown a strong relationship with IT and Design. Technology fascinates me, and has provided my life with many diverse directions. Experienced as an entrepreneur, from my own tech startups to working with ground breaking brands, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to any project. I'm hungry for knowledge, experience, learning, living, teaching, and I set the bar for success high. I'm committed to putting smiles on the faces of everyone I work with, by designing and building products that cater to community and life. Let's build a better humanity.
