Dan Shalev

Dan Shalev is an Adrian Wilcox High School student interested in software, entrepreneurship, and public policy. His background includes building web tools, student business leadership, and public-service internships. He approaches projects by turning operational needs into working systems, from membership-card production to tools for finding and editing public-meeting footage.

For his independent project, Dan created short-form policy content examining California’s proposed wealth tax. As he developed the project, he studied how social-platform recommendations affected the distribution of his posts and videos and documented lessons from losing access to an account.

At Infera Biosystems, Dan built a lead-research system to identify potential laboratory customers, score prospects, and verify contact information. The work gave him a way to combine software development, data validation, and customer research while contributing to an early-stage company.
