Daniel is an experienced member of the IT industry. In 2014, following the completion of his Master of Mathematics at the University of Bath, he started his career as a software engineer, developer and tester at what was then known as IPL. His work there included all manner of software development and testing, and both Daniel personally and IPL generally were known for the high standard of quality they delivered. In the summer of 2016, Daniel left IPL to work as an analyst for Bloor Research, and the rest is history.
Daniel works primarily in the data space, his interest inherited from his father and colleague, Philip Howard. Even so, his prior role as a software engineer remains with him, and has carried forward into a particular appreciation for the development, DevOps, and testing spaces. This allows him to leverage the technical expertise, insight and ‘on-the-ground’ perspective garnered through his old life as a developer to good effect.
Outside of work, Daniel enjoys latin and ballroom dancing, board games, skiing, cooking, and playing the guitar.
