Danny Sasse

Hello!

I'm Danny,

An enthusiastic Full Stack Software Developer with experience in React and Ruby on Rails. I am passionate about designing and optimizing innovative solutions to projects, and trying new technologies.

I treasure the beauty of the natural world and enjoy exploring it through hiking and camping, or from the skies as an aerial photographer. I am a science lover and never stop asking "how" or "why".
