ABOUT ME

Senior Software Engineer at Heroku

Hi there! 👋🏼 I'm Dan, somebody who's just trying to get through this crazy world while some having fun and learning a thing or two along the way. I'm a software engineer by profession, but my interests and goals are much larger than just code. I want to make a positive impact in the world, and code is just one avenue that I use to achieve that.

Django has been my web backend choice of framework for years now. I have used it across tens, if not hundreds, of different projects that range from personal hobby projects to production-scaled startups and more. I have committed to many of the popular libraries in the Django community, and have even contributed a few projects of my own. I know the ins and outs of Django Rest Framework wayyyyy too well for my own sanity.

I have been interviewing for intern, junior, and senior level roles for almost 3 years now. I have also written a few blog posts on how to improve your hiring potential and how to ace those tech interviews, even if you are nervous or get stuck.

I was (and still am) a devoted Heroku user that's deployed personal projects, start-ups, and more to the PaaS tool. Starting in 2021, I was hired to work on the infrastructure of Heroku so I guess that deepens my knowledge even moreso.

I designed and implemented a generic cloud infrastructure management system that is used across both proprietary and public cloud data centers. I worked with teams that helped push for Cloud Native infrastructure within Bloomberg, and we had some really cool innovations as a part of that effort. I also maintained a custom Jenkins CI/CD library that provided proper Git-Ops-flavored workflows in Jenkins.
