David A. Ulevitch (born December 5, 1981) is founder and current CEO of OpenDNS and founder of EveryDNS.
Ulevitch, the youngest child of Susan and Richard Ulevitch, was born and raised in Del Mar, California. Ulevitch's technology career started at an early age when he began working for ElectriCiti, a small regional ISP. In high school, he worked for a year at MP3.com.
Ulevitch attended Washington University in St. Louis, where he earned a degree in anthropology. While at Washington University, Ulevitch created EveryDNS to fill his need for web-based DNS management software. EveryDNS grew from a personal project to a service with nearly 100,000 users worldwide within a few years. Ulevitch was also in part responsible for the creation and operations of the California Community Colocation Project, which provided free colocation services to over 130 non-profits and after merging with the Online Policy Group successfully sued Diebold Election Systems in Federal Court (see OPG v. Diebold).
Ulevitch is active in the startup community, speaking regularly at events and serving as a mentor to other entrepreneurs at I/o Ventures.
Ulevitch's company, OpenDNS, was selected as a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer in 2011.[1]
