Software engineer and robotics coach.

Howdy! I’m Daniel Espinoza a founder, tenacious coder, inquisitive soul, burgeoning roboticist, and homeschool dad.

I have expertise in WooCommerce and Laravel.

I mentor a varsity level robotics team and get to learn cool stuff like 3D printing, CAD, CNC, CAM, and embedded programming.

I’m currently living in San Antonio, TX, but have been working remotely for almost two decades. I am happily married to Amanda and together we parent our three awesome kids.

I founded and operated an ecommerce agency helping subscription companies using WooCommerce Subscriptions increase profits.

Before Grow Development I worked in the Information Technology department of a bank keeping the wire transfer and payroll systems running. Then I read books like “The 4 Hour Workweek” and blogs like “Freelance Switch” and figured out a different way to work that prioritized autonomy, time with family, and peace.

I founded and operated a premium WooCommerce plugin shop. Many of the plugin ideas were born out of the client work of my ecommerce agency. A product shop let me expand my income beyond retainers and hourly rates.

The business was acquired by WP Overnight in August 2023.

Projects

In 2023 my wife and I founded San Antonio Homeschool Robotics, a non-profit that encourages teens to explore careers in STEM specifically through organizing competitive robotics teams. These teams compete in the FIRST Tech Challenge.

Our team Microchips & Queso advanced all the way to the World Championships in 2024!
