Now

What am I focused on currently in life?

Hi — I'm Dan!

I work as a Software Development Principal Engineer at SonicWall and have a Master of Science in Computer Science with a specialization in Machine Learning from Georgia Tech.

Once upon a time, I was an Instructional Associate for Machine Learning (CS 7641) and point person interacting with thousands of students every semester for nearly a decade.

I'm an avid tinkerer in my free time and generally consider myself someone who learns things for the sake of learning. In that regard, I optimize most of my time adovcating and steering my professional work in directions that I find interesting which gives me a uniquely broad, generalist background. 📚

My current interests lie in writing performant network filtering drivers, security, and... well... teaching. Besides that, I love doing photography, working on vintage cars, and am raising two beautiful boys. 👶

Feel free to shoot me an email. If you're a recruiter, I will likely ignore you; however, inquisitive minds are always welcome. ✌
