Profile: https://flows.cv/danielf1

Pro-active and outgoing with excellent problem solving skills, I am a technical professional currently working for Grafana Lab as a Staff Sales Engineer. I can comfortably switch between architecting and building a full-stack web or mobile application to delivering a pitch to a C-suite executive.

Working in pre-sales, I operate somewhere between a software developer and a sales person. It's challenging but satisfying and continually pushes me to acquire a diverse set of skills from solution architecture to sales opportunity identification.

When I'm not working I love collecting records, travelling and learning about new technology
