Dann considers himself a digital craftsman. It's hard to argue with that description when you learn about his rich background in software engineering—most notably in web/mobile applications and data systems.

Driven by his desire to find new ways to pull meaningful information out of our everyday online environments and his passion for artificial intelligence, systems automation, mathematical modeling, and security analysis, Dann strives to design and build sustainable, scalable software systems for companies around the world. In fact, he first tapped into that world as a teenager, when he built a few dozen usable computers from spare parts for a roofing materials factory at age 15.

Dann's most recent endeavor is Flux, a "radically inclusive" hackerspace/makerspace in Portland. He regularly organizes, attends and presents at unconferences, participates in local hackathons, and works on graduate-level research in computational linguistics and artificial intelligence.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
