Dan Munson
I'm a multiplier. Twenty years of closing deals and running teams taught me how to solve problems that matter. I bring that same approach to systems, workflows, product design, and development.

How I Work
I think about software the same way I think about business. It has to work under pressure.
Business Outcomes First
Every technical decision should connect to something real. I focus on what actually moves the needle. Twenty years of closing deals taught me what "good enough to ship" really means.
Ship, Then Iterate
Get the simplest working version out the door. Improve it based on real feedback, not guesses.
Clean Architecture
Structured data and thoughtful design from day one. I care about code that holds up over time.
Built for Operators
I've managed teams, made payroll, and closed deals. I understand the people using the tools I build. That perspective shapes every interface, workflow, and data model.
A bit about me
My professional career started in finance in 2006. Before that, I was building LAN setups so my friends and I could play Halo, customizing MySpace pages, learning HTML and CSS, and hosting game servers. I was always curious about how things worked behind the scenes.
Instead of taking on student loan debt for a tech degree, I stepped into sales. I quickly became one of the top reps everywhere I went. Over the next two decades, I operated inside high-pressure, regulated financial systems. I learned how revenue actually moves through a business. I also saw how fragile most internal systems were.
That frustration turned into focus. I started building my own tools. What began as workflow improvements evolved into full-stack product development. Today I build modern web applications, internal tools, and production-ready platforms through Mektra. I work full stack and focus on clean architecture, structured data, and systems built to scale.
