Hi, I am Daniel.
I study how humans are wired, then build things that help them flourish.
Currently, I'm the Founding Product Manager and first hire at Nightfall Health, a Khosla-backed sleep company founded by Dr. Matthew Walker. Alongside that, I'm pursuing my MS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech, building on Cognitive Science and Data Science degrees from UC Berkeley.

Hi!
I'm the founding Product Manager and first hire at Nightfall Health, a Khosla-backed sleep company led by Dr. Matthew Walker. Before that, I was an early hire at Somnee and at Lekko (acquired by Rippling). I'm pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, and eventually want to explore pursuing a Ph.D.
I believe the next frontier of technology sits at the intersection of human biology and computation — not tech that replaces or reduces humanity, but tech that enhances and expands it. It is that future that I am building towards.
Outside of work and studying, I train MMA, play chess, follow sports, skateboard, read, and write.
Play me in chess?
I trained a bot on every game I've ever played on Chess.com — Blitz, Rapid, and Bullet — so it plays like I do. Challenge it right now.
