Summary
Dan Dunford is a pragmatic full-stack engineer and founder based in Sheffield with over a decade of hands-on experience building production systems and keeping them running under real-world pressure. He blends backend expertise (PHP/Laravel, Python, Node.js, MySQL) with modern front-end stacks (React, TypeScript, React Native) and practical DevOps skills (Docker, CI/CD, Nginx/Traefik), plus applied AI/ML and media tooling (TensorFlow/PyTorch, OpenCV, FFmpeg) for data-driven products. As founder of Munero he ships SaaS and bespoke systems that prioritize reliability and measurable value, and at TribePad he led a zero-downtime migration to PHP 8 while maintaining performance at scale. Comfortable across infrastructure layers from Ubuntu/Proxmox to message queues and caching, he’s as likely to debug live production issues as prototype an ML-powered feature. Notably, his career combines long-term platform stewardship with a knack for turning prototypes into maintainable, shipped products rather than “demo-only” experiments.
