Background

About Daniel Sullivan

I have spent over 20 years working in the Lottery/Gaming industry for the Massachusetts State Lottery, and the majority of that has been in software development to support our gaming system transaction engine and the closely-related components surrounding it. That support has involved coding in C and Java, working in Windows and Linux, using sophisticated IDEs and all command-line environments, managing tasks in Jira, collaborating in Confluence, Teams and Slack, and using various other tools to accomplish Mass Lottery goals. I'm accustomed to 24/7 support, leading technical discussion at the engineering level, grasping business concepts and goals and translating it to software design, and summarizing work for IT leadership, other departments, and executive teams in a comprehensible way. More recently I've transitioned to managing the software team I've been a member of and am now leading and defining our direction in performing our duties. I strive to cultivate a team that works more efficiently, collaboratively and with less distraction. Outside of software and gaming I decided to attain a Juris Doctor while working full time and am a licensed attorney in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I also play a lot of guitar, write a lot of music, and record a lot of noise in a cluttered basement.
