Building a kitchen Blending in with the locals

I'm Dan. I am a co-founder and CTO at Inngest. I spent the previous several years as CTO at Buffer. Back when I had more time I built MailDev (dev tool, open-source and Timezone.io (saas, open-source).

In 2020 I bought a 96 year old house and started a restoration and renovation project on the weekends. Hit me up if you want to chat home renovations.
