Meet Daniel
The person bringing these connections together.
Technology with memory, cultura, y corazón.
I am a systems engineer, organizer, artist, husband, father, and lifelong Chicano activist. My central purpose is connecting the past—Aztlán, MEChA, family history, and community struggle—to the future through education, writing, websites, and my Aztec calendar project.
Un vato del barrio de San Anto.
Ojalá te caiga lo que digo, mon.
Bienvenido a mi website. Mi jale es diferente, y mis experiencias son de muchas ondas. Me gusta la vida. Mi jale es saber, y siempre tengo mucho más por aprender. Estar contento es quien soy.
Live, learn, and enjoy life
That’s what this website is for, mon. It brings together my story, professional background, interests, and the projects that keep me learning.
My interests and hobbies
I enjoy exploring new technologies, reading about personal development, and participating in community service. These interests keep me engaged and inspired, connect me with others, and bring creativity to my work.
Looking ahead
I want to keep connecting community memory with the tools of the future—preserving our stories and making them accessible through education, writing, and technology.
So I hope we can be friends. Hay nos vemos, mon, porque es un planeta muy grande.

Kori Oberle is DigiWI’s main creator. She is an incredible individual that am thankful for her hard work, dedication, and collaboration.
We were employed by Wisconsin’s Educational Communications Board (ECB), alongside PHP developers. DigiWI grew from this collaboration and the broader public broadcasting effort.
