"my name is Dan Marr, from Chicago. While I design and build solutions, particularly for data centers, my core driving force goes beyond the schematics and code. It's an 'Invictus' conviction: keep your head held high, never bow to difficulty, and push relentlessly towards success. This means I lead by example, striving to conquer challenges – not just solve them. For me and the teams I work with, it’s about building towards being the very best and helping everyone around me shine brighter."

"I'm from a village near Aurora, Illinois, which is a suburb of Chicago - excellent. My life, like an AC circuit, pulses with peaks and valleys—from building with my hands to envisioning the future. But regardless of the current, I demand the best: solutions, outcomes, a better world for all. And where the best is forsaken, accountability will be found. I believe in the power of 'mission critical.' Not just in the realm of technology, but in the very act of living. My life is a blend of high-octane passions—from the precision of a finely tuned engine, to the strategic intensity of a basketball game. My love for music ranges from soulful vinyl to complex hip-hop samples, always drawn to deep lyrics and compelling beats. I'm an engineer, a writer, a student of Stoic philosophy, driven by a relentless desire to learn, build, and contribute. My projects, my blog, my life—they're all expressions of this core belief: that we can use technology to create a future where privacy is paramount, sustainability is non-negotiable, and every individual has the opportunity to thrive."
