Daniel Langkilde

Daniel Langkilde

In my heart, I’m a programmer. By training, I'm a mathematician. By profession, I'm a Founder & CEO. I’m obsessed with how things work — code, strategy, organizations, all of it. I like breaking things down, overthinking them, and putting them back together better than they were. My edge is that I’m relentlessly hardworking, addicted to learning, and (frequently irrationally) optimistic.
