Daniel Appel
My name is Daniel Appel. I am a software developer based in NYC, with experience working with Ruby on Rails, Javascript, and React. After finishing my Ph.D in Mathematics at UC Berkeley in May 2017, I decided to shift to software development. I love crafting elegent solutions to technical problems and the feeling of satisfaction that comes from seeing users enjoying a product I've worked on. Look below to see some of my recent projects!
