He blends hands-on development in JS, SCSS, Clojure and ClojureScript with leadership roles—from CTO and Head of Engineering to founding ventures—delivering resilient, data-driven products and developer workflows. His recent work includes internationalising and scaling a SaaS CRM to 60+ countries, building AI-driven PDF/XLS processing pipelines, and real-time collaborative UIs powered by Supabase and websockets. Dan has a track record of performance-first engineering (e.g., 2400% data load improvements) and deep frontend expertise across isomorphic apps, React ecosystems and complex instrumentation. Comfortable leading distributed teams, he pairs pragmatic product focus with system-level thinking around observability, RLS and deployment at scale. Based in Olhão, Portugal, he frequently operates at the zero-to-one stage while also stabilising mature systems—an engineer who equally enjoys crafting novel agentic automation and hardening production platforms.
