Bio
Jorah Wyer
Dan is a wonderful manager and a truly talented engineer. He is at home during all stages of the hardware product development process, excelling at everything from concept generation to manufacturing at scale. He has a passion for sustainable design and impresses with his ability to consider big picture questions while tackling difficult engineering challenges. Dan always sets a positive example for how to act with professionalism, integrity, and humility. I look forward to the day when I will have the privilege of working with Dan again.

My team and I had the pleasure to work with Dan for over a year. During this time, he effectively took our technology from a napkin sketch to a fully functional MVP. His attention to detail and communication tactics are unmatched. The uncertain nature of being a start-up comes with many variables that one cannot control. That being said, while working with Dan, he de-risked and controlled the uncertainty of our engineering variables every step of the way. Highly recommend!
