Professional Journey
Daniel's journey into tech began long before most kids could type. By the age of five, he was already exploring the ins and outs of computers—and by ten, he made headlines (at least locally) for hacking the public library's system. While his early experiments leaned more black hat than white, that curiosity quickly evolved into a lifelong passion for building, problem-solving, and creating things that work better.
His professional career kicked off at Stofa A/S, where he played a key role in establishing their hosting department. He later co-founded ServerHosting A/S, growing it into a successful infrastructure company that was acquired by team.blue in 2013.
Daniel went on to launch ServicePoint A/S, continuing his mission to make advanced technology accessible, secure, and human-friendly. Many of his early cloud projects—including Cloudservers and Cloudnet—helped set a new standard for managed infrastructure services in Denmark.
Today, he's fully focused on Senbee, a platform that reflects everything he's learned: smart systems, automation, thoughtful design, and a deep respect for the people using the product.
