Meet Karl Daniel

Karl Daniel - Technical Director at KD Digital, Software Developer Leeds that's me!

I've spent over a decade building software that actually works - for enterprises like Asda, Sky, and Virgin, for businesses across the UK, and embedded inside existing teams delivering for their clients. I've seen what works at every scale.

That's why KD Digital exists. Whether you're a business that needs a senior developer without the overhead of a full-time hire, or a team that needs reliable extra capacity on a client project - I slot in and deliver. I'm not here to just pump out code. I get the architecture right first, so what we build is scalable, secure, and performant from day one - not a rewrite waiting to happen.

Whether you want to build an MVP for your next big idea, need custom software to streamline operations, want to explore how AI can transform your workflows, or need a trusted partner to augment your existing team - I'm here to lay the foundations and get it done right.
