The Best Thing Since Browser-Based Code Challenges
From interactive learning to adaptive learning
I'm Dan Denney, a front-end dev at DataCamp.
Ok, ok. I'm technically a Senior Software Engineer II, but front-end dev just rolls off the tongue. This my personal playground for sharing many of the things I enjoy, most of which revolves around web design and development.

They're mostly around front-end dev and web conferences, with some occasional life things sprinkled in.

Spotify API
Seasons of Dan
A look at my music listening habits across different time periods. Using the Spotify API to show my top tracks and artists from the last 4 weeks, 6 months, and several years. It's fun to see how my taste evolves over time.
AI Generated
Music Reviews
AI-generated reviews of songs I'm listening to. I share a Spotify link, the lyrics, and ChatGPT automatically analyzes the track's vibe, production, and emotional impact. It's like having a music critic on tap.
Next.js + Supabase

Join the Artificial Intelligencers
I co-organize this Nashville meetup for anyone from beginners to experts who are willing to share their personal or professional journeys learning, experimenting, developing, and applying AI. We focus on real tools, real demos, and real talk.
Our monthly events feature 15-20 minute presentations and demos, plus plenty of time for networking and collaboration. Whether you're sharing workflow automation, artistic applications, or research deep-dives, everyone's welcome.
Cooking and enjoying food and drinks are my hobbies outside of web development. With No ReservAItions, I've found a way to mix the two. I'm using ChatGPT to create reviews for the places that I visit in the spirit of Anthony Bourdain and I'm having so much fun with it!
