Daniel Marsh is a software developer and technical writer with 8 years of experience in API integrations, backend automation, and online identity verification systems. At PVAPins.com, Daniel focuses on the technical side of virtual phone numbers — covering topics like SMS verification APIs, bulk number management, programmatic account setup, and integrating virtual numbers into development workflows.
Daniel has worked as a backend developer for multiple SaaS startups, where he regularly built and maintained phone verification systems for user onboarding and 2FA. That first-hand development experience gives him a uniquely practical perspective: he writes for developers, DevOps engineers, and technical teams who need more than just a surface-level overview of how virtual numbers work.
His guides at PVAPins go beyond the basics — diving into rate limits, number recycling, country-specific verification quirks, and how to select the right virtual number service for production environments. Every piece he publishes is informed by real testing and code-level experience, not just documentation review.
Outside of writing, Daniel contributes to open-source privacy tools, follows developments in GSMA and telecom regulation, and enjoys helping other developers navigate the often-underdocumented world of SMS verification at scale. His core belief: if a verification workflow is painful to set up, it's probably not designed for real-world use — and it's his job to help developers find what actually works.
