Hello! I’m Danny Penrose, a Chief Technology Officer with over 20 years of experience in software engineering, digital marketing, and web development. Based in the lovely town of Harrogate in the UK, I lead technology at two companies: CONVERTA, a global leader in lead management for top brands, and KulaHub, an innovative SaaS CRM and email marketing platform.
My passion lies in full-stack development, cloud management, and technical strategy. I’m well-versed in .NET, React, WordPress/PHP, and have a broad understanding of various other technologies. I manage infrastructure on both Azure and AWS, oversee solutions architecture, and strive to maintain 99% uptime across digital platforms – all while pushing for innovation and operational efficiency.
As a Chartered Manager (CMI) holding a BSc in Business Management and Leadership, and currently pursuing an MSc in Computer Science with AI (expected completion in mid-2025), I’m deeply invested in leveraging AI and machine learning for meaningful tech solutions. Being a green tech enthusiast and solopreneur, I focus on creating sustainable and scalable solutions, such as ReleadWeb which blends cutting edge websites and state of the art website hosting with sustainability. I also enjoy mentoring fellow tech and digital professionals, managing technical partnerships, and sharing my expertise through various other channels and mentiorship programmes.
Outside of tech, I’m passionate about PC and tabletop gaming, producing EDM music, and dabbling in bedroom DJing. I enjoy reading non-fiction books on warfare history, self-help, and technology. I’m also into Magic: The Gathering, love fishing, and have recently taken up running again with the aim of completing a marathon in Autumn 2025.
Looking ahead, I’m eager keep learning to deepen my skills, expand my professional network, and contribute to sustainable, innovative tech projects. I’m enthusiastic about giving back to the tech community by sharing my knowledge and expertise – whether through mentorship programs, this website, my tech leadership hub, or collaborative projects. Travel is also high on my list – Japan and Maritius is a dream destination, and I’m always on the lookout for budget-friendly winter sun options for a relaxing “fly and flop” holiday and long weekend City breaks around the UK and Europe!
