Whois

Hey, I'm Dan 👋

I like to design & develop UIs, but also likes pizza 🍕

Since as long as I can remember, I've been helping people start projects and get their ideas off the ground. Now I'm also getting mine flying.

I like building things. If I didn't have to work, I'd still build things. I've contributed to AI, fintech, telco, architecture, medical, digital signage, real-estate, pharma, hydrology companies, just from the top of my head. It's fun to learn and crack new challenges.

Besides that, I quite fancy running and find hardware of any kind interesting.
Drones are also something I dabble with, even though I'm not too good at flying them.

I'm currently located in Denmark 🇩🇰.

Background

I've been designing & developing for over 10 years, mostly as a freelance consultant. I've worked with startups and companies across Europe — from fintech to telco to medical to architecture — basically, if it has a screen, I've probably built something for it.

In 2023, I decided to go all-in on building my own things — and I haven't looked back since. I've shipped over 11 products to production so far, and I'm not slowing down.

Skills & Tech I Work With

Frontend — React, Next.js, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, Shadcn UI
Design — UI/UX, Figma, prototyping, landing page design
Backend & Infra — Node.js, Vercel, Supabase, Stripe, REST & GraphQL APIs
AI-assisted dev — Claude Code, Cursor, v0, Lovable, MCP servers
Testing & DevOps — Vitest, Playwright, Sentry, load testing

I'm big on shipping fast and using AI to get there. If there's a new tool that helps me build better, I'm probably already trying it.

Podcast & Videos

I co-host the Morning Maker Show with Sandra Djajic — a podcast (and YouTube channel with 10K+ subscribers) about building products, shipping fast and making your first dollar. We've done 60+ episodes and it's sponsored by Sentry.

Some of the more popular technical videos I've made:

I've also interviewed indie makers like Marc Lou, James Hawkins (PostHog), Yasser (Chatbase) and Daniel Vassallo about building businesses from scratch.

Writing

I also blog here — I've written for the Sentry blog about things like cutting 22.3 seconds off an API call using Trace View and debugging Next.js API performance.
