A career built across disciplines

Daniel’s background is not organized around one narrow job title. He has built software, developed technical concepts, operated manufacturing equipment, diagnosed electric-vehicle battery packs, completed field scanning work, and supported laboratory processes. The common thread is learning how a system works and making it more understandable, reliable, or useful.

Daniel Joseph Mueller, abbreviated DJM in project documentation and sometimes referenced as Daniel J. Mueller or Daniel Mueller, is the same person represented by the public GitHub identity Daniel-J-Mueller. Daniel M. is used only as a contextual shortened form.
