If you’re reading this, you’ve scrolled all the way back. This is where it starts.

I’m Dan. I’ve been building software for twenty years — starting from trading floors in Cluj, working my way through CRMs, messaging apps, identity systems, and eventually landing where I am now: architecting clinical data platforms and low-code frameworks.

This log is a place to think out loud. Some entries will be about code, architecture, or tools I’m working with. Others might just be observations about the craft — the kind of things you notice after doing this long enough.

For twenty years, the hard part of this job was people. Not the code — the communication. Sitting in meetings, reading between the lines, figuring out what someone actually needs versus what they’re asking for. That takes a specific kind of energy, and after enough of it, you’re done for the day.

Now there’s a new presence in the room. Not a person, but not a tool either — something in between. Claude, Gemini, Codex. Pick your flavor. They show up ready, they don’t need context repeated, and they’re sharp. Genuinely sharp.
