Dan has been at Target for years, which ended up serving as an experience that set him up for success in the political realm. Dan discusses his history at Target and the accolade of being a distinguished engineer. Dan goes into the challenges of tech leadership in the political sphere, where those under you are volunteers. He discusses some of the technical challenges they faced, which compliments well the insight of previous guest Jackie Singh.
