Background
About Me
I'm Daniel Haines — a full-stack developer and IT manager based in Lancaster, PA. My work sits at the intersection of systems engineering and AI: I build things that connect emerging language model capabilities to real business operations.
In my current role at Crime Intervention Alarm, I own the entire technical stack — from access control hardware to cloud infrastructure to the AI pipelines that automate daily workflows. I care about systems that are reliable, auditable, and maintainable by the people who come after me.
