Community Hive
Founder and sole developer
Property managers and community leaders coordinate buildings through email chains, paper notices, spreadsheets, and social media groups. Announcements are missed, maintenance concerns arrive through inconsistent channels, and there is no reliable record of what was communicated or decided.
3 projects are available in this explorer regardless of the path you selected.
About Dan
A senior engineer who communicates clearly, works across disciplines, and understands accessibility from the inside.
Team player
I communicate clearly, collaborate well, and follow through — without needing to be the loudest voice in the room.
AI-assisted delivery
I type more slowly than most. AI is my equalizer — I direct, prompt, and verify so quality ships on time.
Lived accessibility
Born with cerebral palsy, I understand assistive technology from the inside — not only from a checklist.
Stack-agnostic
I learn the tools you already use, or I bring the right ones. Either way, the system is built around your goals.
Looking for a senior engineer?
I can join an established team, learn its systems, and contribute across product discovery, implementation, accessibility, testing, and technical documentation. If that matches the role you are hiring for, I would like to hear about it.
