About
Hey, there!
My name is Daniel Baruh Kaplun. I was 13 years old when my mother's piano student gave me a set of CDs. Today, I am a highly proficient self-taught programmer and coding is second nature to me. If I sound like the kind of guy with whom you'd like to work, tell me! My email is min@dvir.us, and you can message me on Facebook or LinkedIn.
