Community Hive
One example of how I adapt software to a real business. Built for property managers, shaped by residents and councils.

The problem
The same questions arrive by email all week, and maintenance concerns come in through whatever channel the resident happened to use.
What is on screen
A building overview with open issues, recent announcements, and the requests that still need a response.
The result
Less repetitive email and a clearer operational record of what was asked and what was done.
Built and operated by me: Next.js (App Router), React, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, Node.js API Routes, MongoDB.
Experience grounded in shipped work
I have worked across assistive technology, analytics, community platforms, and public-facing websites—turning user needs into maintainable systems with documentation and testing.

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.
Get in touch
Two tracks, one inbox. Roles go through the portfolio. Community Hive demos go through the live product. Either way, I reply personally.
- Secure, maintainable implementation
- Cross-functional collaboration
- Accessible interface engineering
- Full-stack product delivery
