Welcome! I’m David Mytton, co-founder of Console, which launched early-2021 to provide the best tools for developers. I am also a researcher in sustainable computing at Uptime Institute and affiliated with Imperial College London, where I completed an Environmental Technology MSc in 2020.
From 2009-2018, I was Co-founder at Server Density, a London-based SaaS infrastructure monitoring startup acquired by StackPath, a US-based edge computing business. I joined as part of the acquisition to lead Product Engineering, and left in Dec 2019.
I am an Expert in Residence at Seedcamp (unpaid), a London-based seed fund with 360+ portfolio companies (who also funded Server Density). I actively angel invest, usually alongside Seedcamp.
