Meet the Team: David Burgess - Technical Director
Name: David Burgess
Role: Technical Director & Co-Founder
How long have you worked at MPX? Since incorporation, over 9 years ago!
Describe your job in three words: Varied, challenging, rewarding
Best thing about being part of the MPX Team? We've built a small team of amazing people, we're all completely different yet very much in-sync, its like having an extended family.
What’s the coolest thing you’re working on right now? Currently working on a long-term automation project, all intended to streamline, automate, decrease human error, reduce staffing overhead, and increase data accuracy. (Find out more about that here).
What’s the most exciting part of your current job role? Seeing how much of an impact our software has on our customers businesses and their staff. There's nothing better than hearing how much of a difference a new feature has made to our customers daily lives.
What did you want to grow up to be when you were a kid? A formula one race car driver! I left school at 14 and shortly after found myself in my first job cleaning coin mechanisms from pay-phones (remember those?) Thanks to my Dad however, I had an interest in computers from an early age which is why I am where I am today. Cheers Dad.
Do you have any hidden talents or skills? What are they? As a young boy I used to dismantle everything, work out what made it tick then put it back together again, which I guess is what has lead me to be able to turn my hand to pretty much anything. So quite often at the weekend if I'm not dismantling old cars (Jaguar only!) and putting them back together again, I'm doing some DIY project around the house.
Tell us something interesting about you? Ive recently got into mountain biking and I've caught 'the bug', badly! If I'm not asking Ryan (our in-house MTB Guru) "what's the best tool to buy?", then I'm out on our local trails trying to beat my Strava times and pick up KOMs. I am also a keen Jaguar Enthusiast and an avid Hi-Fi audio nerd.
We’re building a company people love. A company that will stand the test of time. So we invest in, and surround ourselves with good people, and optimise our culture for long term job satisfaction and achievement.
