What others say

We hired Dan to work on an early product that was still in the discovery phase with customers. This can be a difficult stage of development because use-cases are still emerging and patterns are not well established. Dan proved to be very adaptable: from prototyping broad feature proof of concepts for user feedback, to fine detailed work on component accessibility and interactivity, to internal tooling and developer experience.

We found him to be diligent with a quality finish to his work. He was able to contribute and articulate technical recommendations and was pragmatic about trading off engineering practices against business needs. Although not part of his role with us I got the impression that he would be a good mentor to junior engineers. I would certainly recommend him for a team investing in their UI/UX practices.

Dan took a high level mission statement (in our case, 'make our complex FE performant') and quickly built, led and executed on an end-to-end plan to make it happen quickly, working across multiple teams and services. He felt like a true owner from day one, demonstrating startup-level urgency and a genuine care for the product and impact being delivered.

I cannot recommend him highly enough as an extremely capable, personable and flexible Frontend leader / architect / developer.
