While studying mechanical engineering </span><span style="font-size: medium;">at the University of Florida</span><span style="font-size: medium;">, Daniel developed a passion for creating technological solutions to improve our understanding of the oceans and their role in our survival for the future. More than 95% of the world’s oceans remain unexplored, and there are countless discoveries to be made that can have great impacts on the world, advancing the fields of medicine, energy, and more. Following this interest, Daniel has worked as an engineering assistant at The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, served as founder and president of the UF section of the Marine Technology Society (UFMTS), and contributed to multiple underwater vehicle projects at UF, most notably the SubjuGator autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). Daniel has also gained other technical experience as the project leader for the TailGator tailgating robot and performed research under Dr. Carl Crane.</span>
<br/><span style="font-size:medium">Daniel has also followed a passion for leadership. In addition to being founder and President of UFMTS, he worked his way up through Gator Robotics as the publicity director, treasurer, and finally president for 2013-2014. He also served </span><span style="font-size: medium;">on the Student Leadership Advisory Board for the UF Engineering Leadership Institute and</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> as the president of Epsilon Lambda Chi: Engineering Leadership Circle, an honors society bringing together the student leaders in the UF College of Engineering.</span>
<span style="font-size:medium">After graduating in May 2015, Daniel began work at Bluefin Robotics in Boston, MA as a Marine Operations Engineer and Test Engineer field testing their unmanned underwater vehicles. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">He worked hands-on with Bluefin’s Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), performing vehicle operation and maintenance, mission planning and execution, and launch and recovery of the UUVs. He also became a huge Red Sox fan in his time in Boston.</span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">Daniel moved to San Diego in April of 2017, starting a new position as a Mechanical Engineer for at Leidos working for the Navy on marine technology. He recently applied </span><span style="font-size: medium;">has now come around to rooting for a master's the Padres and enjoys hitting the beach, with rare attempts at UC San Diego and hopes to attend in Fall 2018surfing. He Currently, Daniel is also working on starting an accelerator for oceanographic ventures.</span> <span style="font-size: medium;">Daniel has maintained his involvement with UIF as a mentor since 2015, helping launch his girlfriend's popsicle businesscohorts from Kent State University, Louisiana Technical University, University of San Diego, Santa Clara University, Just Pops (www.eatjustpopsand most recently UTEC in Peru.com),</span> <span style="font-size: medium;"> and has now come around to rooting for Daniel also served as a Fab in the Padres2019 Silicon Valley Meetup.You can view his ignite on learning to better value your time below:</span> <br/>{{#Widget:Youtube|id=jkb6dYFH0pA}}<div><br/></div>= <span style="font-size:xx-large;">Related Links</span>=
