### Profile
I am a highly experienced software developer with 20+ years of experience
building software products for the web. I have been programming computers since
I got my Sinclair ZX81 in 1985 and have been making them do interesting and
delightful things since.
Dan started coding on his Sinclair ZX81 computer in 1985 and building things
for the web in 1996. Now, also literate in design, he focuses mostly on
building web applications from small simple websites and services to large
enterprise-level systems. With a preference for simple and usable interfaces,
Dan works best by prototyping ideas.
I mostly use Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS, JavaScript (including frameworks like
React) and PostgreSQL. I believe the best software is well tested and built
collaboratively and iteratively with continual feedback from the product owner.
His attention to detail and the fact that he works "at his best" when alongside
others makes him an ideal member for any team. Eager to learn new techniques
and technologies, Dan loves working on interesting projects and strives for
simple, elegant and maintainable code.
Since starting at thoughtbot London in 2012, Dan has become proficient in Scrum,
and is a certified Scrum Master.
