Build. Refine. Simplify.
A little bit about me...
My name is Daniel Meyer and I am a Full Stack Software Engineer born and raised in Southern California.
My career has led me to a variety of development roles such as Software Tester, Engineer, Architect, and Team Lead.
I am also a enthusiast of all things combustion and electric. I enjoy being a home mechanic and it feeds my drive to understand the engineering behind all things whether it be hardware or software.
