Dan is currently combining all these interests to investigate the use of gaming engines as simulators for testing environments that have no, or challenging, Earth analogues, like the moon.
In his free time, you'll find Dan managing and developing for a small private gaming community where he likes to learn and test new DevOps techniques and programming approaches, or out for a walk with his dog and his fiancée.Ìý
