My background and journey

About Me

Daniel Nugent
Currently at HubSpot

I’m a Senior Software Engineer at HubSpot focused on building AI-powered, user-centric products at scale. I specialize in React, TypeScript, and GraphQL, with a strong track record of shipping features that move key business metrics.

Highlights include building Engage.AI (HubSpot’s upcoming native AI CRM platform), launching an AI design companion that generates production-ready design system code, and creating AI-driven form generation. I led a redesigned visual forms editor that boosted submission rates by 30%+ and contributed to $1M+ in monthly customer revenue with payments and meetings integrations.

I graduated First Class Honours in Computer Science from Trinity College Dublin (’22). Outside of work, I enjoy shipping side projects like Spellborne Wiki and exploring the intersection of AI and UX.
