Ten Dollar Adventure author and engineer

About

I'm a father, engineer, and lifelong entrepreneur-in-training. My most memorable entrepreneurial adventure involved developing a 9 ft, 360 lb indoor air disinfection system at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. An electrical engineer with degrees from MIT, I live in Los Angeles, California with my wife and two young kiddos, who are wonderful sources of inspiration and the catalyst for my graying hair. I wrote Ten Dollar Adventure to share my passion for creative problem-solving and the fun of entrepreneurship with young readers everywhere.

Greetings! I'm Danish - Parent, Engineer, Founder and now, Author!

I'm excited to be here amongst a community of entrepreneurs and tool builders! For the last 6 months, I have been working on an interactive book to teach children about entrepreneurship and the value of creative effort. Making Ten Dollar Adventure has not just been an effort in authoring a story but one that involved writing my own tools (hello Elisp!) and leveraging modern technologies to provide a rich experience for readers. For example, readers have an option to turn on an arithmetic explainer in-story to learn the math behind earning and spending money. The audiobook is designed to play one of 252 possible storylines and has an togglable intermission for reflection or discussion. I'm launching the book next week and look forward to your feedback and support!
