Contract product engineering · Brighton
Product engineer for teams that need to ship
I design and build product UI, front-ends and the systems behind them in React, Next.js and TypeScript.
I'm Dan, an engineer based in Brighton. I work across product, design and code: taking an idea from a rough brief to something real users rely on, and keeping it running in production.
