Daniel is a unicorn. He has deep knowledge in design and at the same time of the technical constraints of the incredibly complex Amazon systems. This allows him to put forward tangible solutions that keep raising the bar for customers across the globe. As a human Daniel is just a jewel of a specimen. We need more technologist with his empathy and kindness helping build the products we use daily.
Daniel always manages to make complex and novel products look simple. He treats everyone with sincerity and empathy. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and listening to his perspectives on various deep technical/philosophical topics.
