Hi, I'm
Danny Garcia
I'm a senior web developer with experience dating back to 2013 building digital products for companies of all shapes and sizes. Early-stage startups and enterprise companies have both trusted me to build things that hold up under real use. I get the most joy when building products from start to finish, focusing on the user experience, and working alongside other technologists who care about their craft. Currently consulting at thoughtbot.

Senior Software Engineer — thoughtbot
Senior Ruby on Rails consultant embedded with clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies like Amazon (One Medical) to two-person startups, adapting to vastly different technical and business contexts.

Software Engineer — Treehouse
Partnered with designers, PMs, and engineers to deliver new features for Treehouse's main Rails application and triaged critical bugs on the reactions team.
Contributed to the data team by building internal ETL pipeline infrastructure that enabled data scientists to more efficiently report on business metrics.
Software Engineer — Aetna
Contributed to full-stack platform development across web and mobile — building an internal authentication API, shipping features for Aetna's main Rails app, and instrumenting applications to inform business decisions.
Partnered with the development team to continuously refine engineering workflows, from establishing best practices to improving the code review process.
Side Projects
Things I built on nights and weekends
I enjoy building and learning new things even outside of my discipline.
Tiny House Build
My brother and I (with some help) built a tiny house for fun! It was a great learning experience and we had a blast doing it. I learned a lot about construction, design, and project management. Here are a few photos of what we buit.
