Hey, I'm Dan.
I'm currently building agentic tools for independent wealth managers and finishing my MBA at Harvard Business School. Before that, I worked in product at NVIDIA and Contextual AI, and invested in early-stage AI and infrastructure at Bain Capital Ventures. And before that, I led a team enabling frontier model deployments at Microsoft AI.
Outside of work, I founded Care for Students, a 501(c)(3) providing free tutoring to public school students in need.
