Mastering Pixels & Code.
I'm David Raines — developer, database specialist, and game designer. By day I build production websites, Salesforce automation, and analytics infrastructure. By night I design game systems, simulations, and worlds. Same detective brain. Different canvases.

Justice
The Unconventional Path
My journey started in criminal justice and private investigation — careers built on attention to detail, pattern recognition, and knowing when something doesn't add up. Now I apply all of that to my development work.
Every system I design, every mechanic I build — it's approached like a case. What's the problem? What's the evidence? What's the most elegant solution?
