I highly recommend Dan as an effective CTO who can help you leverage emerging technology to enhance your businesses' success.
I had the chance to collaborate with Dan over few months in the iGaming industry, and on top of being a fantastic customer and a knowledgeable partner, he has supported from day one a complex FinTech integration. Being diligent in the gambling vertical is a mission Dan managed to be from the beginning, and despite all the regulations and up-and-down logistics, he succeed to provide to us all the elements leading to an easy onboarding, not only from an operation role. A massive thank you for the time we shared together.

I have worked with Dan for 3 years.. he has always been very professional and has great knowledge of the industry. He has always delivered on time and on budget and I would recommend him for any project.
Daniel is a well-versed, patient yet extremely passionate C-leader for early to mid-stage companies. He's not a typical CTO/CIO in the sense that his experienced Operations and Sales background gives him rounded perspective on guiding a companies technical vision. He's customer and revenue first, yet has a long view on the technical decisions needed in cadence with. He's diligent in his leadership and decision making from architecture through to UX, and I've firsthand witnessed his "tech" pass the pressure tests of massive scale, as well as succesful M&A due diligence; two important phases of every company's growth. Dan is a good partner both internally and externally, and an asset to any team.
