OpenAI Codex / Enterprise AI
Daniel Steigman.
I deploy agentic systems that help secure enterprises scale how software gets built.
01. About Me
I have had a passion for software engineering ever since I began building Minecraft mods in Java back in 2013. Before I decided to make software my career I was pulled into the chaotic and fast-paced world of a hardware start up. My time working at the hardware manufacturer gave me the experience to handle both sales and support operations as well as marketing and product development.
In 2018 my passion for blockchain technology led me to cofound the Web3 company Nugbase. Nugbase’s core product is an NFT collection and Web3 game called Flowerpatch. My role started off as business operations but I quickly evolved to a software engineering role. Our rapid growth pushed me to lead our contract engineering division, where I consulted with clients to design and build their Web3 products.
In 2023 I left Nugbase to work at a smart wallet company called Fun.xyz. My primary role at Fun.xyz was designing and developing the React SDK, improving the developer experience for our customers. I worked directly with our customers and built Role-based access control features. I am especially proud of my work building multi-factor authentication into Ethereum wallets.

03. Some Featured Work
Codex enterprise deployment @ OpenAI
OpenAIEnterpriseSecurity
Forward-deployed Codex into high-security enterprise environments, starting with NVIDIA. Focused on onboarding, secure sandboxing, deterministic controls, hardware-farm workflows, and the practical systems that let large companies delegate real engineering work to agents.
Scaling Coding Agents @ Cline
Applied AIOperationsRevenue
Joined Cline to be the first AI engineer and ended up leading the company as Head of Operations.
