Dan has worked in software development and web tooling for over a decade. He writes about digital security, productivity systems, and test preparation — topics where the gap between conventional wisdom and what actually works tends to be widest. After passing his own US citizenship naturalization exam, he built the study guide he wished he had during preparation: organized, direct, and free of the filler that pads most test prep resources. His approach to technical writing is to explain the why, not just the what. Understanding the reasoning behind a technique or tool makes it stick and makes it easier to apply in situations the tutorial never covered. When Dan is not building tools, he contributes to open-source projects and writes about the intersection of technology and everyday problem-solving.
