Dann Berg

Hello, Im Dann. I work at the intersection of engineering, finance, and cloud cost optimization. In simpler terms, I help make big, scary cloud bills not so big or scary. Want to do a deep dive? Theres more on my About page, or you can check me out on LinkedIn , Github , AngelList and Twitter . If you want something more personal, you can find me a... t the monthly NYC FinOps Meetup , which I run. Its also pretty easy to find more about me with a quick Google search . Spelling Dann with two Ns is great for SEO. In a past life, I was a tech journalist, and my writing has appeared on MSNBC, Fox News, The Verge, Mashable, Laptop Magazine, and Toms Guide. I also co-authored two full-length plays with my wife, including The Floorshow , which is about a group of tap-dancing showgirls in the 1950s. I live in Brooklyn, New York with my wife and our cat. A lot of my writing can be found on the articles page. Much much older blog posts can be found on my old blog IAmDann . I wrote a play with my wife called The Floorshow about a group of tap-dancing showgirls in the 1950s. It had a week-long run in 2019, which went really well . I've always loved irreverent-yet-informative neighborhood blogs. Downtown Brooklyn was lacking in that regard, which is why I launched Oh No DoBro . Currently, it's just me (which is why posting is sporatic), but I do imagine roping in some neighborly help one of these days. For all the crypto-investors out there champing at the bit: yes, it is possible to own original Dann Berg NFTs . Get 'em while they're hot. Though now defunct, I used to actively update my website Novice No Longer . It also had a podcast that people seemed to like. Here's some of my work from when I was Reviews Editor at The Verge. You can check out a video of my play "Diary: A One Act Play" being performed in Manhattan Repertory Theatre's 2015 Spring One Act Competition. Even though they're no longer available, I have fond memories of my three apps: Reader Tracker (iOS), Watcher Tracker (iOS), and WorkBurst (macOS).Read More
