In ages past, I soared through the heavens astride great metal dragons. But in 2012 another magic called to me: the ancient art of software crafting.
I now serve the legendary builders of Framer from my Fortress of Contemplation. As Battlemage of the Backend Voids, I wield arcane spells and command vast armies of immortal Gophers to SHAPE THE DIGITAL AETHER TO MY WILL!
Maniacal laughter echoes through the load balancers...

When I'm not keeping the digital aether online (or resisting the baked temptations of evil), you will find me lost in tomes of epic adventure or wandering the countryside beyond my keep.
Go forth and explore Dan's Land:
May your caches stay warm when nights grow cold,
your path remain bug-free,
and your uptime boast as many nines as the eye can see.
