About

I’m a builder from Georgia, working at the intersection of AI, startups, and product. Started with development, moved into building teams and products, and now focused on creating OpenBot - an OS for AI agents. These days I spend most of my time building, experimenting, and turning ideas into real products. Outside of work: music and creating things that didn’t exist yesterday.

Is it better to be a founder, freelancer or employee? (Personally for you)

I'll be honest I've never liked the feeling that someone "owns" me.

So being employed was very distant to me. [As if I had no power over my income.]

RankSpot won #1 Product of the Day. Huge thank you. ❤️

Hey there, Dan here, Founder of RankSpot

Yes, that is my actual reaction to winning Product of the Day
