I’m Daniel Hughes, a Liverpool-based senior software engineer working at Ultamation. As part of my role at Ultamation, I develop home automation software integrations for the Crestron Home ecosystem, but I’ve also branched out into other areas, such as development on a project related to BluOS for integrators, and supporting development on a cloud-based licensing system for Ultamation products. I have a passion for software development and architecture, and am always eager to learn new technologies and methodologies.
In my spare time, I enjoy working on personal projects, such as this website. I also am an avid enjoyer of video games, and you might find some blog posts from me about them and the gaming industry in the blog section of this site.
