Hey friendo! I’m David Wesst (Wessty / DW). I’ve spent nearly 20 years building, transforming, and modernizing technology for people. These days, I’m also pursuing a longtime dream of creating video games through Cocoboko Studios — an indie game studio focused on making thoughtful games I wish existed, built in a balanced and sustainable way. This channel is where I share that journey: game development, technology, creativity, and the realities of building things while balancing work, family, and life.
