Summary
Dan Visel is an engineer focused on reading and publishing technology, currently working on the Wayback Machine at Internet Archive and freelancing on digital book projects since 2013. With 13 years of experience across UX, front-end and publishing-focused development, he builds interactive ebooks, web and mobile apps and the tooling that makes multi-format publishing possible. He combines a background in book design and information architecture with hands-on engineering—having automated typesetting workflows and shipped apps for iOS, Android and Kindle Fire. Based in Rome and educated in English literature at Harvard, he brings a rare blend of editorial sensibility and technical craft to projects that center reading and preservation. An unspoken strength is his consistent focus on tooling and workflows that let content creators publish across formats with less friction.
