Daniel Silva
Montiel

Building software, and the trust that grows around it.

I lead engineering and customer support at dotCMS, and I'm the founder and CEO of triippii.app — a mobile app that connects travelers around the world. Off the clock, you'll find me with a guitar in hand or chasing a futbol.

01 / About

I care about two things: building software that works, and making the people who use it feel taken care of.

My work sits where engineering meets people. At dotCMS I manage an engineering team and lead customer support — translating between what gets built and what customers actually need. It's taught me that great products are equal parts code and care.

That same instinct led me to found triippii.app, where I'm building a place for travelers to find and connect with each other. And when I step away from the screen, music and futbol keep me grounded.
