Hello, I'm Dan. I'm a web developer.

I love writing <code />, learning and experimenting with new technologies. Check out my recent projects and tech stack.

Before I started coding, I spent many years at the U.S. Embassy in a small ex-Soviet country, telling America's story, promoting English language, and managing information and literacy programs. I also helped launch a food delivery start-up and volunteered in an organization that focused on preventing teens from joining street crime. I have a graduate degree in business and speak four languages. When I'm not coding, I hang out with family and friends, play sports or go out for long walks.
