The ability to work with and learn from Danny has been a highlight of my job at ClassPass. He has always been willing to take the time to talk to me about solutions to tricky technical problems, and I always feel enlightened after hearing how he thinks about things. Danny loves technology and seems to have a good pulse on what sort of solutions are available in the market, and also the pros and cons of using various approaches. In addition to being extremely knowledgable and wicked smart, Danny is a great person to spend time with, and I enjoy talking to him about movies and TV series. Finally, I think it's worth noting that Danny has shown a lot of compassion for the people he works with at ClassPass. He's does small things like lending out his headphones when people need them and also provides great to mentoring and advisement. I know everyone at ClassPass will miss Danny greatly. I know wherever he goes next will appreciate him just as much.

Danny, during my time at ClassPass, was both a great manager and a personal friend. He was always enabling me to work at my fullest potential as an engineer, challenging me to find optimal, efficient solutions. He encouraged a great deal of learning as well and was an advocate of courses and seminars if the situation arose where it was feasible. Danny was also able to connect me with industry veterans and vendor contacts who could act as mentorship when evaluating and building out new products, and was a channel to many different facets of the industry. I would highly recommend bringing Danny on-board as a director. He is smart, fair, and will guide any company with loyalty, passion, and zeal, to new heights, creating real team collaboration and making everybody feel a part of the bigger picture.
