Dan Previte is a Principal Software Engineer with 15 years of experience building and modernizing web and SaaS platforms for payments and financial services. He has led teams and technical strategy as a CTO and senior engineer, launching merchant-management and payment systems, public REST APIs, and resilient AWS infrastructure while managing PCI and security requirements. Known for modernizing legacy Laravel codebases, strengthening encryption, and migrating services to cloud platforms like Azure and AWS, he blends hands-on development with operational ownership.

An approachable maker who quips “I make stuff that goes on the internet,” he retains a startup founder’s curiosity alongside enterprise-grade discipline.
