Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Daams is a seasoned full-stack engineer and entrepreneur with 13 years of professional experience who co-founded and led development of Travellerspoint, growing it from a side project into a globally used travel community with over a million monthly page views. He combines hands-on expertise across web stacks—ColdFusion/Lucee, PHP, .NET, Elixir/Phoenix—plus MySQL, Elasticsearch, Vue.js and AWS infrastructure to deliver scalable, user-focused products. Peter has a track record of shipping pragmatic solutions like Chrome extensions, email systems and payment gateway integrations, and of improving UX and SEO to drive organic growth. Equally comfortable managing communities and small teams, he brings a background in video production that informs strong content and product sensibilities. Notably, he learned new languages and frameworks on real projects (Elixir for Travel Massive) rather than in isolation, showing a practical curiosity for adopting the right tool for the job.
