'Invictus' is more than a word; it's a guiding principle in the often unpredictable world. It represents the unwavering spirit to overcome any challenge, to learn from adversity, and to emerge stronger and more resilient. Like the gladiators of old, we often face unforeseen trials. 'Invictus' reminds me to maintain an unconquered mindset, constantly seeking innovative solutions and never surrendering to obstacles, building solutions that are not only effective but also empowering.

My name is Dan Marr, from Chicago. While I design and build solutions for Data Centers as an Electrical Engineer, my core driving force goes beyond any schematics or code. It's an 'Invictus' conviction: keep your head up, never bow down, and push relentlessly towards success. Your attitude determines your altitude. This means I lead by example, striving to conquer challenges leaving my mark. For me, it’s about building towards being the very best and helping everyone around me build a better future for tomorrow.
"I'm from a village near Aurora, Illinois called Sugar Grove, which is a suburb of Chicago, Excellent!. My life is like a collection of all the unbelievable stories and feats that you hear about and can't believe they're true, but the main character is always me. I describe it like electricity, or a waveform; it pulses with peaks and valleys from building anything with my hands to envisioning the future. But regardless of the current, I demand the best: solutions, outcomes, a better world for all. And where the best is forsaken, accountability will be exposed.
My life is a blend of high-octane passions from the precision of high performance engines & research and design, to the intensity of basketball, creative world of music, and solitude in nature. My love for music ranges from soulful vinyl to complex hip-hop & samples, always drawn to deep lyrics and compelling beats. I'm an engineer, a visionary, a writer, a student of Stoic philosophy, driven by a relentless desire to learn, build, and contribute. My projects, my blog, my life, they're all expressions of this core belief: that we can use technology to create a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive."
