Daniel leads the Nuxt core team. Previously, he was CTO of a SaaS startup and founder of a creative agency focusing on clarity of vision and message.
He is part of the team at Vercel where he is employed to work full-time on Nuxt.
His open source work has a focus in the Vue.js and Nuxt ecosystems, but extends across the broader JavaScript ecosystem. He created npmx.dev, a fast, modern browser for the npm registry, and is a core contributor to Nitro. He has also built type-safe developer tools like magic-regexp, web performance libraries like fontaine and beasties, and community utilities like page-speed.dev. He's a keynote speaker at conferences around the world, particularly around frontend, web performance, serverless and software architecture.
He continues to mentor founders as an expert-in-residence at the Imperial Enterprise Lab, and has been recognised as a Microsoft MVP, a Google GDE and a GitHub Star.
He was named in the 2025 New Year Honours List from OpenUK, was identified as One to Watch by FreshMinds, has delivered a TEDx talk on the importance of clear communication, was a founding member of Durham Young Professionals and has mentored students in the Future Business Magnates programme.
He's based in Scotland where he lives with his family and a very affectionate ragdoll cat named Barley.
Daniel holds an MA in Jurisprudence from Oxford University and an MTh in Theological and Pastoral Studies from Oak Hill College.
