Dan Mindru

Web Developer, Designer, and General Maker

Dan is a web developer, designer, and general maker with a passion for creating. Whether he’s building apps or producing a podcast, he sees himself as a builder, always bringing ideas to life. For as long as he can remember, he’s been helping others start projects and turn their ideas into reality, working across a range of industries including fintech, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, architecture, medical, digital signage, real estate, and hydrology.

These experiences have inspired Dan to create his own apps, and he now has around ten, ranging from hobby projects that display statistics to codebase generators. If something sounds fun, he’s likely to build it. Outside of work, Dan enjoys running and finds hardware of all kinds fascinating. He also dabbles with drones, even though he’s not the best at flying them.
