Dan Moore is a seasoned software engineer with 17 years of experience building and maintaining production systems across macOS, Linux, Solaris, AIX, and Windows environments. As a long-tenured Principal Developer at Gannett | USA TODAY NETWORK and a contributor to notable Django projects like django-import-export and django-embed-video, he focuses on backend reliability, compatibility upgrades, and testing improvements.

He has led engineering efforts from small startups to large media organizations, integrating reporting tools like Cognos and standardizing tooling across teams. Based in Indianapolis, he brings a rare combination of UNIX systems administration chops and modern Django ecosystem contributions, plus an offbeat passion for independent film and film festivals that informs his product intuition.
