About Dave Burrows

Public Sector & Enterprise Tech Leader • AI-Driven Cultural Content • Serverless Infrastructure Expert For 15 years I’ve led Damibu — a specialist tech studio delivering complex, mission-critical software for public-sector and enterprise clients. Our core strength is building bespoke, secure, and scalable systems: from inter-organisational content platforms to API-first, mobile-enabled solutions on AWS serverless infrastructure. AI & Cultural Context: We integrate multiple LLMs and ML APIs (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) to enhance content delivery through Damibu Feeds and Damibu SmartContext. We care deeply about cultural relevance — tailoring NHS and public communications not just for language, but also for regional and community resonance. Hands‑On Systems Engineering: My background spans from hardware-level optimization in console game engines (C/Assembly on PS2/PS3) to cloud-scale serverless pipelines in Node.js, PostgreSQL (including vector-embeddings), API SDKs, analytics, and custom tooling. I’m technology-agnostic, pragmatic, and passionate about translating complex requirements into efficient infrastructure. Mission & Impact: I believe effective tech is empathetic tech — whether that’s making self-care healthcare accessible on GP websites during covid, empowering migrant women through tailored digital messaging, or maintaining information equity across NHS networks. I’m always seeking new opportunities to drive societal value with agile AI and scalable platforms.
