Freelancer.com | Software Engineer Intern | 2021-2022 | Software Engineering | Scored an internship with an awesome company where I was already an advocate of the product.

Attend Token | Co-Founder | Currently | Software ArchitectProduct Management | I love events, music & tech. I teamed up with an events producer and artist manager friend of mine, Harold, to build out a custom Proof Of Attendance app for live events. The company is a WIP, but it’s great to have skin in the game in Web3! | |
ExcelCracker | Founder | 2022 | Product Management | Recently my Uncle forgot a password to a really important excel spreadsheet. He called me to ‘crack’ the password and I thought it might be a good idea for a ‘microsaas’ business. Rather than building out the whole app, i’m hosting a single page app with an email where you can submit your locked up .xls file! If there are enough hits, i’ll build it out.
It’s been a good op to learn google ads and try a different way of gauging a product!
Update: Got some responses but not enough to be viable financially. | |

Daniel Francis Entertainment | FounderSoftware Engineer | 2015-2021 | Product ManagementBusiness ManagementSoftware EngineeringSoftware Architect | Notable Points: Achieved best growth after doubling down on a market segment in events ($12k/M) - Weddings & Roving Bands. The new focus allowed us to systemise processes with a mixture of tech and written procedures. This enabled to spend more time on revenue drivers → Customer relationships & word-of-mouth. All our tech was built in house (www.contractors-dfe.com.au) | |
TJ & Co. | Co-Founder | 2015 | Business Management | The first business I started straight out of school with a friend. As with many first businesses, this one failed and I reformed it into my own business, “Daniel Francis Entertainment”. | |
