About Dan Sagher

I spent my twenties touring internationally as a professional guitarist. From Nashville to Jakarta, I learned how art and craft work together to shape an experience. Eventually, I became curious about the systems underlying the software tools I used every day. I returned to study data science, where I found myself drawn as much to the structure of ideas as to the mathematics itself.But the tools I relied on to think and build felt fractured. Notes lived in one place, diagrams in another, writing somewhere else. Important connections existed mostly in my head—or not at all. I began developing MindMosaic as a response to that gap: a workspace designed to hold complex ideas in a form that can be seen, connected, and refined over time. I’m currently building it with a small team at Michigan State.I’m interested in the intersection of data, systems, and the tools that shape how people think and work through difficult problems.
