Daniel is a full-stack developer and co-founder of a startup called Fliffr. Over the past three years, he designed, architected, implemented, and maintained both back-end and front-end software. As a founder, he's driven and a self-starter, and as an employer of freelancers, he knows what goes into good communication at both ends of a remote working relationship. He prides himself on being able to independently solve problems.
