Thanks for checking out my website! I'm David Chu, a software engineer based in Seattle. Born and raised in Panama, I attended college in Southern California before heading up to the Emerald City.
As you can probably tell, I'm passionate about photography! I mostly do travel, street, and landscape photography these days. Last year, I switched from a Canon DSLR to a Fujifilm mirrorless camera in favor of portability, and I've been loving it!
My current gear:
- Fujifilm X-T4
- Fujinon XF 23mm F/2 R WR
- Fujinon XF 50mm F/2 R WR
- Fujinon XC 50-230mm F/4.5-6.7 OIS II
I built this website (currently a work in progress!) with: Gatsby, React, GraphQL, Typescript, SASS, AWS S3, hosted on AWS Amplify, and tested with Jest, Testing Library, and Cypress. For now, it'll just be a photography-focused travel/activity blog. Later on I may add in a tech blog or film analysis blog...we'll see!
Outside of photography and tech, I play classical guitar, go to the gym, and spend time outdoors. During summer I hike (though that goes hand-in-hand with landscape photography!), and during winter I ski. I'm also a bit of a cinephile and a Real Madrid fan.
