Hi, I'm Daniel.

I'm a software engineer.

I spend my time on hard problems and put my energy into technology I believe in.

I started 42futures to work on things that matter to me, in my own way.

Now: Eigin.

Most of my time goes into Eigin, a local-first, personal AI.

To get real value from AI, you have to let it know you. I think that only works if it's truly yours: it runs on your device, keeps your data local, and answers only to you.

Eigin is open source, and I co-founded it.

About me.

I'm based in Aarhus, Denmark.

For a decade, I've worked at the edge of what's possible: from deep learning before ChatGPT to extended reality before the Metaverse. I've worked with companies like LEGO, Salling Group, Novo Nordisk, Siemens Gamesa, GE, and more.

I care about meaningful work, done right: useful things that do good and work great. Like EnergyMate for cancer survivors, safety training for wind technicians at Kanda, and now Eigin.

Some background:

Former CTO at Kanda, leading tech strategy and product development.
Former ML engineer at LEGO, building intelligent moderation systems.
Built SynthVR, a commercial VR product, from concept to profitable release.
Open source contributor and technical writer.

Why 42?

Those who know "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" recognize 42 as the answer to the "Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything."

The right answer is meaningless without the right question. I try to start with the question.

Writing.

I write about technology, society, and cool stuff:

Forces of nature.
The growing risks of hosting EU data in US clouds.
Everything you should know about confidential computing.
And more, on my blog.

Stay updated.
