I'm Dan. I've spent the last decade building infrastructure — fintech ledgers, cloud control planes, cross-chain indexers, identity systems, and platform infrastructure at scale. The kind of work where failure means real money lost and real pages at 3am.
Every product in the Romans portfolio exists because I hit the problem firsthand and wished the tool existed. Torch came from switching between too many apps. Statio came from watching AI agents call APIs with zero governance. Denarius came from wanting institutional-grade analysis without the institutional-grade price tag. JanusLedger came from years of building double-entry accounting systems in production fintech environments.
I studied Classical Antiquities at Trinity College alongside Computer Science. The Roman naming isn't a gimmick — it's the design philosophy. The Romans built roads, aqueducts, and legal systems that lasted two thousand years. Not because they were clever, but because they were practical. They solved real problems with engineering that worked at scale.
Every product is named after something a Roman soldier carried or a Roman engineer built. Torch (fax — the light), Statio (the checkpoint), Denarius (the coin), JanusLedger (Janus — the god who sees both sides), Pilum (the javelin), Scuta (the shield). Tools that are reliable, practical, and built to last.
