About Acorn
We’re a growing, high-quality web consultancy interested in helping businesses develop innovative approaches to markets in both their local market and around the world.
Growing Team, Global Reach
We (David & Daniel) have lived for over a decade on two continents each, which has stretched and expanded our view of people, relationships and businesses in a number of ways. As a result, we’ve deliberately built our team to be diverse and multi-cultural, as we find the cross-pollination between cultures leads to broader perspectives and better work.
We highly value long-term relationships with both our customers and the people we work with (employees & contractors). That can be seen in the loyalty our clients have to us and in how folks we hire stay with us for long periods of time.

David Baker
Founder & CEO
David got interested in computers as a young boy and quickly knew he'd found his passion. Since graduating with an Information Systems degree (and a certificate in international business), David has consulted with a variety of startups, established companies and educational institutions around the world. Through it all, he continues to enjoy the intersection of people, design, business constraints and technical complexities.
Outside of tech, he can be found engrossed in discussing business, cross-cultural living or enjoying life with his wife and rambunctious young sons.
Daniel Mahaffy
Tech Lead
Daniel takes pleasure in tackling difficult problems (which is why he got a joint degree in computer science and math). A senior software engineer with more than 13 years of experience in the field, he has led or guided many programming projects spanning both front-end and back-end development. Although these days Daniel focuses more on software engineering, he also enjoys DevOps and Linux server administration.
Outside of work, Daniel is usually playing with one of his daughters, tackling a DIY project, or solving calculus problems for a little fun.
