Dan Beil has been a WordPress developer since 2009, focusing on front-end responsive code and clean admin interfaces. Prior to joining Alley Interactive, he worked on a large multi-site e-commerce WordPress install as an in-house developer at Blue Earth Interactive.

Dan frequently travels and speaks at WordCamps, most recently talking on ‘Stop Building Themes and Start Building Solutions’ at WordCamp Phoenix in January 2014. Generally, Dan gives talks on intermediate developer practices, and personal and professional development. Previous talks have included ‘S2members and Monetizing a WordPress / BuddyPress install’ (WordCamp Minneapolis 2013) and ‘Why Custom Post Types are Awesome’ (WordCamp Boston 2013).

Dan is a regular at Minneapolis meetups, and when he’s not in front of a screen he spends his time fostering Siberian huskies.

Currently, Dan is working with Alley Interactive and is looking forward to the challenges large sites entail.
