Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Melton is a seasoned software leader and serial founder with 16 years building products at the intersection of finance, government, and distributed systems. Based in Portland, he combines hands-on engineering—leading frontend, TypeScript/React stacks and Kubernetes deployments—with strategic product and CTO experience from startups like Dipsea, Neighborly, and Fetch (an Ethereum wallet). He’s crafted civic tech at Code for America and Granicus, bringing a social-entrepreneurial lens to technical challenges and partner integrations in regulated domains. A practiced public speaker and mentor, he hires and scales teams while still shipping code across web, extension and mobile platforms. Unusually for a technologist, he also runs a fashion atelier (Danamor), reflecting creative instincts that inform his design-forward product work.
