Dan Goldstein
Software from Texas
Specializing in React websites and Node/Python APIs
In almost 25 years of building software applications, I've learned how to what makes software projects successful and how to bring that success to future projects.
I've written code, led teams, managed projects, coordinated with customers, and have run a company's operations. These days I focus on the first two.
Technology
React Web Sites
I've been making websites since I was an undergrad at the University of
Maryland in 2000. I've used the DHTML and jQuery over the years, but
these days I've been building with 
React. It's a great way to quickly
make powerful, modern websites.
Next.js
Many of my projects are building on Next.js. Its main feature is server side rendering, but it's got lots of features that are useful for single page applications. It's a great base to built upon and there's no downside if you're not using all of it's features.
TailwindCSS
It took me a while to understand the value in 
TailwindCSS, and now it's my
favorite styling system. It puts the styles directly in the HTML so you
don't need to track down all of the CSS. And it works wonderfully with
components.
Mobile Apps
Some internal processes work best with mobile apps. These days,
Flutter is a great way to make powerful
mobile apps for Android and iPhones at the same time. React Native with 
Expo is a great option too.
APIs
I've worked on APIs created with Typescript, Python, and C# recently. Further in the past, I've used Rust and Java. They're all great.
Previous Projects
I've worked with
You'll notice companies of all sizes, from public companies to startups.
Case Studies
Case Study: Clearbuild
Clearbuild is a SaaS application that lets construction company owners better understand their cash flow. Construction accounting has retainage and progress billing which are standard in the industry but make it hard to know if the business will need a cash infusion to complete a project.
I picked up active knowledge of construction accounting while on a business consulting gig attempting to turnaround to a local concrete reinforcement company. I combined this with mastery of Typescript and React, along with a passing knowledge of Rust, to create a website with the beautiful design below.
