Daniel Blair is a tech entrepreneur and technologist from Winnipeg, Manitoba. He is heavily involved in start-up and maker communities in Winnipeg and regularly attends and organizes community events that are centered around development and open hardware.

When the Banana Pi board was first released to the community, Daniel got involved in the Banana Pi due to his experience with similar boards, such as the Raspberry Pi. He has worked on various projects, which includes bringing the Tor browser to the Banana Pi.

He has used nearly every incarnation of the Banana Pi and the boards that it has inspired. He has been a part of all kinds of projects related to software and hardware. Although Daniel has written a lot on the Banana Pi on his various websites, this is his first book on the subject.

Bit Space Development, a tech start-up founded by Daniel, offers various solutions to small businesses that need technology such as menu boards, Internet access points, and company dashboards. The power of open hardware has enabled them to offer top-quality support and robust hardware solutions as a small company.
