Profile: https://flows.cv/danielrobertson

I'm Daniel 👋 Product software engineer dedicated to building user experiences focusing on design systems, accessibility, and developer experience. I have 10 years of professional experience in product development, building complete, well-tested, database-driven web applications and design systems. 

I'm currently working on Cloudflare's Dashboard. Previously, I’ve led full-stack projects and design systems using modern open-source technologies: JavaScript, React, Next, Node, Typescript, Java, and SQL/NoSQL. I have experience leading guilds, architecture proposals, and cross-team projects. 

I enjoy engineering organizations that prioritize bottom-up innovation and space for creative individuals with clear product direction and social cohesion across individual teams while valuing trust, empathy, and clear communication.

Outside of work, you'll find me singing in a choir or at a coffee shop ☕️
