Dan is an Information Professional and Data Specialist at Tocsin Data, with over 15 years of experience in secure communications, research, data ingestion, and geospatial intelligence. He specializes in building robust data solutions — including operational dashboards, real-time mapping systems, ingestion pipelines, and custom OSINT tools — for clients in law enforcement, government, security, and enterprise sectors.
His work emphasizes precision in data validation, source verification, geospatial analysis, and the integration of diverse data streams into actionable intelligence platforms. Proficient with both proprietary and open-source tools, Dan frequently works with ArcGIS, QGIS, Python-based workflows, databases, APIs, and secure data pipelines to deliver reliable, scalable systems.
Key focus areas include:
- Geospatial mapping and spatial data analysis
- Automated data ingestion and normalization pipelines
- Custom OSINT tooling and dark-web research capabilities
- Secure communications and encrypted data handling
- Dashboard development for incident monitoring and operational awareness
When not building data systems, Dan enjoys painting and playing the banjo.
“I’ve known Dan for at least 8 years and have always found him to be responsive, attentive to details, and honest. Our work as a military and government contractor has at times required customized solutions. Dan built a custom dark-web search engine which we used for government and corporate clientele. This proved to be one of our biggest successes and produced results that had a very significant impact on national security, while also helping us serve our favorite financial-services clients. Dan operates with the necessary level of integrity required for such efforts and I hope we can partner with him for a long time to come.” – Morgan C.
