● PERSONAL INDEX // PENSACOLA, FL
Dan
Haefner
Sales, restaurants, technology—and the systems that connect them.
I work in restaurant-equipment sales, build and operate useful technology, and document the projects, photographs, experiments, and rabbit holes in between.
01 // SELECT A ROUTE
One life. More than one lane.
I would rather show the connections than force everything into one impressive-sounding title.
About me
Sales, restaurants, computers, practical technology, and the interests that keep expanding the map.
[02]↗Current projects
Real work and active experiments—from restaurant equipment to autonomous robotics and local weather.
[03]↗Field log
Photos, build notes, useful discoveries, interesting days, and what I am learning while doing the work.
02 // TECHNICAL RANGE
Comfortable with people.
Comfortable under the hood.
I am equally comfortable talking with a restaurant operator, opening a terminal, troubleshooting a website, directing AI agents, or working through a new technical system.

From the field log
First full day with the GOAT Racer platform
My first full day in the lab: getting my hands on the platform, asking a lot of questions, and finding out where my RC and drone background carries over.
We finally completed the Blanton’s set
Felicia and I had been collecting the lettered Blanton’s stoppers for years. We finally found all eight and lined them up.
An old Pensacola Beach photo I still like
I was going through older Pensacola Beach photos and stopped on this one. The sky still looked good, so I kept it in the pile.
