Summary
👤
SeniorDan Sofer is the founder and executive director of Founders & Coders, an innovative, peer-led and free coding bootcamp he launched in 2014 that champions collaborative learning and social impact in London. With a career spanning over three decades across product, development and leadership roles—from early web development at The Guardian to CTO and project management positions—he blends hands-on engineering with entrepreneurial and community-first instincts. He has repeatedly built teams and programs that prioritize practical, affordable tech education and civic-minded projects, currently focusing on Tech for Better initiatives through the Founders Programme. His background in physics and early work in academic logic inform a pragmatic, systems-oriented approach to problem solving. He’s equally comfortable shipping code, running organisations and steering trustee boards, having chaired the Philadelphia Association and led multiple small ventures. Not obvious from the title: he started careers ranging from organic produce distribution to experimental web startups, showing a long-standing appetite for practical experiments in alternative models.
