“I started out on the web development team, just writing code like any other developer. I worked on a mix of things—our API, our warehouse login system, even parts of our Vendor Portal,” Dan explains. “But I started asking critical questions.

That’s not gonna work.” With that, Dan’s role evolved. He became not just a developer, but an API evangelist—someone who bridges the gap between hardcore tech and real-world business needs. Today, he leads the Integrations Department, helping dealers navigate T14’s robust API and making sure their businesses run smoothly.
