Daniel Packer

Daniel's blood is the color of web and UNIX mixed together to form a kind of purplish green. A professional web developer since the mid 90's, Daniel has watched the internet and the web grow from a cool idea into something amazingly important.

Daniel has worked as an independent contractor and employee with universities, banks, ad agencies, dot coms, publishers, and non-profits building out CMS architectures and managing servers. Now he's happy to be part of the RWD team where he'll get to put his systems and coding skills to use building some of the best sites around. Having started with interactive graphic design in the early 90's with the BBS and ANSI scenes, Daniel also has the design bug and isn't afraid to break out Photoshop, Illustrator, and a wacom tablet, when he has a good excuse.

Some of Daniel's projects including DrupalShell, a unix-like interface for Drupal that he hopes to release as an admin tool and power toy, acting as a sysadmin for local hackerspace HacDC and working on electronics and DIY engineering there, vegan cooking, writing and playing music, DIY, and humanism and posthumanism. Daniel is on the long road towards an eventual PhD in cognitive science and computer science and has research interests in cog. sci., human interface design, and digital electronics.
