Hey there!
I’m Daniel, the person behind this website. I’ve been doing product for some time now. I’ve worn many hats (and still do), but the one that’s been with me the longest is Product Manager.
I created this site back in 2015 as my personal blog, wrote a couple of really popular articles, developed a crippling case of imposter syndrome, stopped writing, temporarily moved it to another domain, and now it’s back here. It’s dormant right now but you can follow me or reach out on other platforms.
About the site’s name…
I often get asked “why the hell is your site called Folding Burritos?”. Fair question, so here it goes:
First, I freakin’ love burritos. Both eating and making them. Mainly the eating part though, because I suck at making them.
Second, I wanted a distinctive, rememberable name for my site.
One day, while struggling to fold a burrito, it hit me. In order to create a great burrito, you need the right amount of ingredients (so it doesn’t overflow or it’s too floppy), the right combination of ingredients (so it’s tasty) and the right technique to fold it (so it doesn’t fall apart). “Huh, how’s that for a product management metaphor?”—I thought. And boom: the name was chosen.
