Dan Conley

Software Engineer / Dad / Scouter

By day I’m a professional nerd. By nights and weekends I can be found camping with Troop 539, tailgating at Buffalo Bills games, or playing games with my family.

I write about camping, the outdoors, and Scouting America at scouting.dad.

I took the long way around to software engineering, getting degrees in History and Library Science (I occasionally manage to get the impostor syndrome under control). These days I can be found focusing on domain driven design and event sourcing in .NET on ACV Auctions’ Order Management team, though my real passion is presenting at the company’s biweekly Tech Talks.

Despite sleeping in a big bed with my wife, I would typically prefer to spend every night in a hammock in the woods.

Some things I am at least okay at:
  • knots
  • domain driven design
  • event sourcing
  • leave no trace
  • .NET
  • Go
  • hammock camping
  • running hackathons
