In our Team Spotlight series, we are shining the light on Daniel Christian Jianoran, Principal Software Engineer at C2 Risk.

Tell us a bit about your background and what led you to join C2 Risk:

I’ve worked as a software developer across a variety of industries, from fibre optics to event management. I’ve always been curious about how different industries operate and how they integrate with one another. One thing that stood out in every company was the lack of focus on risk across the organisation. The idea of working at a company that focuses on risk management and could change the conversation around it was what made C2 Risk so appealing.

What inspired you to work in the risk management industry?

I’m driven by curiosity. With the rapid advancements in software and emerging technologies like AI, I’m fascinated by how we’re going to manage the risks associated with these developments.

What do you enjoy most about working at C2 Risk?

The opportunity to work with experts in their fields who are pragmatic in their approach. The team isn’t swayed by shiny new trends or stuck in outdated methods but focuses on finding the right solutions, considering all factors.

How has the company contributed to your professional growth?

C2 Risk has helped me become more pragmatic in my decision-making, ensuring the solutions I build are future-proof. I’ve also had the chance to explore new ideas and approaches, like using Git and Jira/Confluence in innovative ways that I hadn’t experienced in previous roles.

In your opinion, what sets C2 Risk apart from its competitors?

C2 Risk stands out because it focuses on making risk management accessible for businesses and their suppliers. As a startup, C2 Risk is able to rapidly develop new tools that give it a unique edge.

Where do you see C2 Risk in five years’ time?

I envision C2 Risk becoming a comprehensive, easy-to-use platform that enables businesses to manage risk seamlessly. Through integrations, companies will be able to automatically track risks across their own operations and their suppliers, strengthening overall security.

Do you have any fun, surprising facts about yourself?

I have an odd attraction to vehicle-related danger. As a kid, I laid down in front of a bus, rolled down a park hill on a bike with no brakes into traffic, and was hit by a car while biking (I flew and landed on a backpack full of pillows). That’s just a few of my close calls!

What’s your favourite part about working with the C2 Risk team?

The team’s dedication to their goals and their high level of expertise is what really makes working at C2 Risk enjoyable. It’s the people and their shared vision that make the experience meaningful.

What’s the best way to start your day?

Coffee of any kind. A warm drink really sets the tone for a productive day.

What’s your favourite way to unwind after a long day at work?

I unwind by watching K-dramas with my wife or playing/reading with my daughter.

What’s the most rewarding part of your role at C2 Risk and working in risk management?

As a software developer, shaping the direction of the software and improving its quality is what I find most rewarding. It’s fulfilling to think about how the tools I create can make life easier for others, especially in a risk management context.

What’s something you’ve learned recently at work that you didn’t know before?

I recently learned about working emulators of Turing’s Enigma machine, which was a fascinating piece of history and technology.
