Daniel Aston is Senior Vice President of Engineering at DAS Technology, where he leads engineering strategy, product delivery, and high-performing development teams. In recent years, Daniel has led a ground-up rework of how his organization builds software – rearchitecting development processes and team workflows around AI-native practices, from code generation to review to deployment.

 

With 15+ years in software engineering and technical leadership, Daniel brings a builder’s view to the questions every C-suite is now facing: where AI actually moves the needle at scale, what it takes to operationalize that shift across a team, and what it costs to stand still. He’s led teams through complex technical initiatives, modernized platforms, and built development organizations that balance innovation, reliability, and execution – lessons he now applies to the harder question of how AI reshapes engineering culture itself.
