I'm David Dias (he/him), I'm a French-born ๐ซ๐ท Canadian ๐จ๐ฆ with Portuguese ๐ต๐น heritage living in Toronto, Canada.
Former Staff Frontend Engineer exploring multi-passionate career development. I help people in tech who, like me, refuse to be put in a professional box.
After 15 years in frontend development, I'm now building David Dias Digital - creating resources, tools, and community for multi-passionate professionals who want to integrate their complete identity into their careers.

- ๐ฏ Career Integration - How to build careers that honor all your interests
- ๐ Cultural-Technology Bridges - Creating respectful innovation
- ๐ Employee to Entrepreneur - Documenting the real journey
- ๐ค Community Building - Connecting like-minded multi-passionate professionals

What makes me different: I don't just build with these technologies - I use them to create bridges between cultures, solve real human problems, and demonstrate that technical skills can serve broader missions.
