Complexity is a Choice. I Build Systems That Just Work.
Dan Devins: The Architect of Operational Simplicity
Bridging the gap between systems and the people who use them. I'm Dan Devins—an Operations leader focused on using Lean principles to drive confidence and clarity in high-stakes technical environments. I believe that if a user doesn't understand the system, the system is at fault, not the user.
Why Simplicity Wins
For years, I’ve seen great technology fail because of unnecessary complexity. My philosophy, rooted in Lean methodology and minimalist design, is simple: Computers are tools, and they should be easy for people to use.
I don't just fix problems; I strip away the waste, streamline the processes, and translate the technical into plain language. I focus on the small things, which over time can have big impacts, ensuring the long-term culture and effectiveness of the organization.
Trusted with Scale and Security
Technical operations require both ambitious execution and meticulous detail. My career has been defined by leading high-impact projects that demand both.
- System Migration: I led the complex, large-scale migration project that moved approximately $25,000$ client domains to HTTPS, ensuring security and stability at massive scale.
- Process Development: I designed and administered the crucial domain onboarding processes for client websites, ensuring smooth, repeatable, and simplified transitions for every new customer.
- Technical Translation: My unique strength is understanding complex systems and communicating their intricacies to non-technical teams, acting as the vital link between development and user success.

I am confident and ambitious about delivering elegant solutions that are easy to deploy, easy to understand, and easy to maintain.
