Daniel Hutton

Technical Director

Daniel is a full-stack software engineer with over a decade of experience designing and building platforms and digital products. He co-founded ConsultOnline and leads the technical development of the software, infrastructure and integrations.

At ConsultOnline, Daniel turns consultation requirements into reliable, practical software. His remit spans the survey builder and interactive mapping tools through to the real-time analytics engine and AI-powered chatbot.

Before co-founding ConsultOnline, Daniel worked across a range of sectors building web applications, APIs and data-driven platforms. His experience spans front-end and back-end development, cloud infrastructure, database design and DevOps, giving him a broad technical foundation that informs how the platform is built and maintained.

Daniel's approach to product development is rooted in user experience and practical problem-solving. He works closely with Penny and with clients to ensure that the platform not only meets the technical requirements of modern consultation but is genuinely intuitive for both consultation managers and the communities who use it.

He is particularly focused on making public engagement more accessible through thoughtful design, ensuring that multilingual support, mobile-first interfaces, accessibility tools and offline capability work seamlessly so that no voice is excluded from the consultation process.
