I’m Dan. 🎉 I’m a front-end engineer with a strong interest in data visualization, design, and interactive experiences that inspire and are easy-to-use.

I’m currently working as a front-end engineer at McKinsey.com. My work falls into two camps: creating reusable UI components, data-driven interactives, and microsites for a public audience across all screens; and developing internal tooling to improve the way McKinsey publishes interactive articles.

Previously, I worked as a front-end engineer and graphics reporter at The Wall Street Journal, where I worked with coders, designers, and writers to visualize the news.

My tech stack homies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Svelte, D3, Node.js, and Github Actions.

Technologies I’ve used in the past that I’m not perfect in but could get up to speed fairly quickly: GraphQL, Python, TypeScript, and Docker.

I have a M.F.A. in Information Design and Data Visualization from Northeastern University and a B.A. in Government from Cornell.

These are the projects I am most proud of:
