Hi, I'm Daniel πŸ‘‹

I'm a Product-minded builder with a background spanning product management, data analytics, user experience, and leadership.

Over the past decade at Automattic, I worked across teams like WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Tumblr, and People Analytics β€” helping design, support, and scale products used by millions.

🌱 What I'm focused on:

  • Building simple, user-centered products that solve real problems
  • Creating better internal systems and workflows across data, support, and product
  • Writing clean documentation, wireframes, and prototypes to drive alignment
  • Bridging technical, analytical, and user needs into clear, actionable plans
  • Learning Ruby on Rails and improving my ability to build and ship small web applications

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» Tech familiarity:

  • Languages: SQL, Python, LookML, beginner-level Ruby, basic HTML/CSS
  • Frameworks: Early experience with Ruby on Rails
  • Data: BigQuery, Looker, Superset, ETL workflows, KPI design
  • Product: Figma, Jira, Confluence, Shape Up methodology
  • Development: GitHub, Pull Requests, Cursor, basic scripting and automation
  • AI Usage: Daily use of AI tools to accelerate research, writing, prototyping, problem-solving, and technical execution
  • Other: Open source contributor mindset, async collaboration, remote leadership

✍️ A few highlights:

  • Led major data workflow improvements for Tumblr and People Analytics teams
  • Coordinated 300+ volunteers for a 3,000-person WordCamp Asia event (3,000+ attendees)
  • Published 1,400+ internal posts and 2,400+ comments shaping product, support, and strategy discussions
  • Pitched and helped introduce Shape Up methods into company-wide projects
  • Built automation scripts to clean up analytics pipelines, dashboards, and internal tooling

πŸ“« Let's connect:


I love solving real problems, simplifying complexity, and helping teams and products grow.
Always learning, always building.
