Hi! I’m Daniel.

I’m a software engineer and my current role is Head of Engineering at the amazing Our World In Data where we develop tools for our authors and audience to explore data on important long term trends relevant to human development. With my wonderful wife I also run the photography studio Iconoclash Photography. I really like programming languages from the ML family (F#, Elm, Haskell, ...).

I'm excited and concerned about the fast development of AI in roughly equal terms and I write about this topic occasionally on my AI Horizon substack.

I studied film directing and a couple of the films I made are still online at vimeo.

To get in touch, just drop me an email at daniel@danielbachler.de. You can also find me at twitter, github etc:

My snail mail address is:
Daniel Bachler
