I'm Daniel Ternyak. I live in New York, where I lead AI Agents at Owner.com.

I've spent the last decade building software companies. I started young: my first engineering job was at Skykit, straight out of high school, building the cloud platform behind their digital signage network. From there I joined MyEtherWallet as the first non-founder hire, brought on to eventually replace the technical co-founder. We scaled it to a peak of around 50% of all Ethereum transactions flowing through our nodes, and never got hacked (although BGP itself was once hijacked to target our users, which was its own kind of fun).

After MEW I co-founded Onedesk, ran a consulting practice called Grant.io in partnership with the Zcash Foundation building public-goods funding programs, and then started ServiceBell in 2020 to put a real human one click away on every B2B website. I ran ServiceBell end-to-end through 2025 as Founder and CEO.

These days I lead the AI agents organization at Owner.com, designing and shipping autonomous agents that take on the marketing, growth, and operations work that thousands of independent restaurants never have time for. Along the way I was a Thiel Fellow, which is how I ended up skipping the traditional college path in the first place.

Outside of work: cycling, distance running, food, and as much time as I can carve out with friends and family in New York.
