about

I'm Daniel. I'm based in Los Angeles, originally from the UK and back here from time to time.

I started writing software when I was 12, building cheats for the browser games my friends and I were playing at the time. The pace of computing education at school felt glacial after that, so I left it earlier than was probably wise and went into the workforce instead.

The first chunk of my career was in finance: investment banking, then energy trading, contracting and consulting out of London. From there I moved to internal tooling work at Whole Foods and Amazon, and then to Riot Games to work on video games.

These days my focus is Likewise, a draft protocol for decentralised personal knowledge graphs, and the in-development reference implementation that goes with it.
