David Bass

I moved to the Pacific Northwest soon after earning my Master's of Information Systems in 1997. I was self-employed from 2002 to 2010, and during that time, created a web application development system (appGenerator) that automated the process of building web-based relational databases, forms and reports.

In 2013, I started working at Western Washington University as Senior Developer for Digital Initiatives. I am fortunate to work with some great folks and explore interesting ideas & technologies.

Here are some highlights from my time at WWU thus far:

Spearheaded an initiative that has saved the university more than $53,000 per year starting in 2026
Led the formation of the AI Hub, which includes the website, Leadership Team, Discussion Group, and Teams site.
2024 Team Recognition Award (IT Response)
WWU Accessibility Advocate Award (2023)
2019 Team Recognition Award (MABEL)
2018 Professional Staff Award for Excellence
IBU: automated image tagging / description app

I love connecting and meeting people, so perhaps our paths will cross someday. You can reach me via [my first name] at [my full name].com or LinkedIn. You might enjoy perusing a new site I've been working on: unrequested.info. I'm also building several projects in my spare time; more to come when those are ready. Thanks for visiting.
