Daniel J.

The ten-second version: Digital AI-first Architect who designed and built systems for ORCA Group (PE-backed, €45M revenue), Root Global (€8M funding round) and Bavaria's largest industry association (360 corporate members). I bring both sides: the technical side (built a custom CRM and a custom project management tool from scratch) and the business side (3 years of consulting, 7 completed projects). Background: UC Berkeley in Silicon Valley, bachelor's in Information Systems, two 5-figure e-commerce exits at 17 and 20. 👋 ____ The longer, sit-down version: Most companies I talk to don't have a software problem. They have a systems problem. Swapping the tool or adding a quick automation never fixes the system underneath. So I work in that order: talk to the people who run the process, fix the structure, only then build. Hi, I'm Daniel 👋 I got here in three steps. I started as a founder, building two e-commerce brands from zero to five-figure monthly revenue and selling both. Then I moved into consulting, where I designed sales processes, CRM structures and growth strategies for companies from PE-backed groups to 25-year-old market leaders. Along the way I started building the systems myself, including a custom CRM and a custom project management tool from scratch. Today every project I take sits at the intersection of business process and software, and it has to do one of two things: save time, or create value that wasn't there before. Some of the projects: - Personalized direct-mail pipeline: reads leads from a Google Sheet, scrapes and analyzes each company's website with AI, picks the matching testimonial, fills a Google Docs template with a website screenshot and generates the finished PDF letter, filed by date. Hundreds of letters, zero manual writing. - Custom CRM and custom project management tool, built from scratch instead of bending an off-the-shelf tool to a process it wasn't made for. - Member acquisition system for Bavaria's largest industry association in its sector (360 corporate members): channel roles, journey from first contact to membership, CRM setup and automated follow-ups. - Integration strategy for a PE-backed roll-up of 7 architecture-software companies (€45M revenue): product vision and how the seven systems become one suite. - Sales system for a solar, charging and energy-storage manufacturer: process, materials and a full handbook for 3 product lines, from lead to close. - Partner selection for European expansion: 50+ agencies across 5+ markets evaluated, best sales partner selected per country, for a company with 100+ employees. - Competitive benchmark before an €8M funding round: 41 competitors, 30+ hours of interviews and demos, pricing and positioning recommendation. - and much, much more...
