Week 5, 6 & 7
Lots of papers, coffee chats, contract work, and conferences…
Hey! I’m Daniel.
I’m a founder, software engineer, product manager, and UI designer based in San Francisco. Previously, co-founder & CTO of Canopy (a spin-off from 37signals), and now advisor. Before founding Canopy, I led web engineering and product at IFTTT.
Currently on sabbatical to study Applied AI / AI Engineering. I’m always open to connecting with other like-minded folks, so feel free to reach out.
Outside of work, I’m a scuba diver and a lifelong cyclist (Road, Mountain, and BMX).

Using ChatGPT & Custom GPTs for code brainstorming
As part of my attempt to get better at prompt engineering I'm really trying to do as much as possible of my work with some AI support (coding, design, reviews, copy, etc. use it for everything first). Custom GPTs is the feature from ChatGPT that makes me use it more than anything else (more than Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini). I have a handful Custom GPTs that I use every day, and I create a bunch for specific needs as well.
