About Me

Hi, I'm Daniel Grimes, a senior Computer Science major at Ohio University, graduating in May 2026, seeking full-time software engineering opportunities.

I'm passionate about building innovative, scalable, and impactful solutions, with hands-on experience in web development, automation, AI, and blockchain technologies.


Currently, I'm a Junior Software Engineer at AInsure, where I rebuilt the company's website using Next.js, integrated blockchain and Web3 features, and developed AI agents to automate insurance workflows. I also completed a Software Engineering Internship at Siemens Digital Industries Software, contributing AI-driven automation and test solutions using Python, Playwright, SikuliX, and JavaScript/TypeScript.


I also founded Boone Scales, a web and AI solutions agency helping small businesses establish their online presence and automate workflows. I thrive in problem-solving environments and enjoy tackling challenges through technology, whether building responsive web applications, deploying AI solutions, or exploring the intersection of technology and business. I'm always looking to connect, share ideas, and explore opportunities in software development.
