ABOUT ME

Full-Stack Software Engineer / Home Automation Enthusiast

I'm Daniel Alexander Ross Evans, but most of my work colleagues call me D.A.R.E.

Before my time as a software engineer, I volunteered at MAGFest as a roadie/apprentice to the executive director.

During my time as a software engineer, I've focused on joining start-ups to help empower companies, and the people within them, to succeed at their goals.

What brings me the most joy in life, is using my time to improve the day-to-day lives of others. As an engineer, I love finding ways to remove the friction in our workloads without the usage of "AI" or "Neural Nets".

I like to use Python as my personal pocket language for writing my own tools. It's fast to write, and flexible to work with. When it comes to creating a back-end server, I have experience working with Django and CherryPy servers, and the templating languages associated with each. I've often found that a lack of strong typing can lead to quick solo development, but very painful team development. It's important to take the time to make python types clear, whether its by naming-convention or by using a typing library

I've been working with HomeAssistant since its initial release. I've gone from a single Raspberry Pi to a small handful of running servers at home, just one for HomeAssistant of course. When it comes to HomeAssistant, I sometimes contribute plugins to the community store, or add notes about my own setup to the wiki on my plugin repo. My own setup is something I have spent significant time on. It is not easy to express how this has manifested.

When I originally joined Fair I was hired as a back-end engineer on the billing team. When I finished at Fair, I was leading a team of engineers on the creation of an internal operations website. While this transition was not entirely my choice, I embraced the opportunity to grow my skillset in a wider capacity.
