Dan Koch – Senior Architect

Dan has been around, but in the good way. In days past he’s served as a software architect, technical lead, project manager and advisor. But Dan's métier is the long play, the end-to-end game. Starting with a blank sheet of paper, determining what the product should be, and building something that will stand with the strength of Atlas that exudes Middleware magic. Dan is proficient in C, C#, Objective C, ASP.NET, Java (including J2EE and Spring), Python (including Django), RDBMS (Oracle, MySQL), Document-based Databases (Mongo DB), Javascript, CSS and Ruby on Rails.

Interests: Dan has an unhealthy amount of baseball knowledge retained in his brain. The same holds true of film, urban history and just about anything else he can get his hands on. When he's outside, there's a dangerously high likelihood that he'll have a Whiffle Ball bat in hand. Stay alert.
