I have worked with Dane on multiple projects before, most notably when my marketing firm was the marketing department for Knowtify in 2015. He was Founder and CTO of Knowtify, they were a Techstars company that got acquired by Kissmetrics.
His primary responsibilities will be evaluating potential hires (front end & back end) and working with the new team members to build our own infrastructure. I think this setup will help mitigate technical risk, and frankly make my day to day more enjoyable.
