About Daniel

Hello!

My name is Daniel. This is (the latest iteration of) my personal blog.

I was born in Ireland but have been living in Jerusalem, Israel for almost a decade.

I currently work in non-profit communications helping to tell the story of impact investing to a global audience.

I’m also a long-term tech fanatic (this blog was originally intended as a non-tech blog and then I realised that I don’t have the discipline to run two separate blogs; so welcome to the mush-pile).

My meandering interests in technology have at times drained my bank account and at other times provided the springboard for jobs - so I reckon it sort of evens out over the long term.

Prior to my current role, I worked with companies in cybersecurity, cloud computing, and backup and data recovery (consulting) and for companies in industrial IoT and SaaS (jobs).

To the disappointment of my bank account, I am not a developer. I just like helping the people who write the code to explain what they do (I dabble in all manner of programming myself but, truth be told, I’m pretty bad at it.)

Along with the rest of the tech-interested world, my current fixations are clustered around GPTs, generative AI, and LLMs. I’ve been working, since the summer, on an LLM-”native” knowledge base backed by graph database storage. Some early prototypes are on Github. But one benefit of being too olded and jaded to start a startup is that I can take my time about things. So … it’s a work in progress.

For those adventures, and more, see my Github profile. For contact info and more general things, visit my homepage.
