David Mytton is Co-founder of Console, which launched early-2021 to provide the best tools for developers. David is also a researcher in sustainable computing at Uptime Institute and affiliated with Imperial College London, where he completed an Environmental Technology MSc in 2020.

David built the original version of Server Density, including the open source monitoring agent and custom time series database used by 700+ customers to manage mission critical IT environments.
