Hi there 👋 I’m Daniel.
Since 2014, remote work has been the foundation of my life and career. It’s allowed me to grow personally, work globally, and build systems that help people thrive in a digital-first world. I created this site to share what I’ve learned—and keep learning—along the way.
How it started
I’ve been juggling jobs since I was 15—night guard, waiter, nonprofit web admin—you name it. One day during an org psych class, a guest speaker (now a colleague and friend, @yoavf) introduced me to Automattic and the idea of fully remote work. It felt like the future. And it was.
No commute. Flexible hours. Flat hierarchy. Room to grow. The promise of remote work lit a fire in me. That spark eventually led me to Automattic, and it changed everything.
How it’s going
At Automattic, I found much more than a job. I discovered a community, a learning culture, and the freedom to shape my path. I’ve dived into web development, people analytics, async collaboration, leadership coaching, and building systems that scale. I’ve also traveled the world and helped thousands of businesses grow.
Eight years in, I still believe remote work is one of the most powerful tools we have—for equity, resilience, and creativity. And I believe we’re only just getting started.
What this site is about
This is a space to share what I’ve picked up—lessons from remote work, leadership, building digital workflows, financial literacy, personal growth, and everything in between. It’s not a blog. It’s more like a digital garden: growing, evolving, and open for exploration.
If something here sparks your interest, use it. Adapt it. And let me know where it leads you.
