About the Founder
Daniel Buckle
Technical Founder · LunarTechly
I've spent the last decade deep in the weeds of high-throughput, backend-heavy systems for iGaming operators including Betsson Group, KingMakers, WA.Technology, BetOnline, Winna, and SharkBetting, following enterprise runs at IBM and PwC. I build and run systems where millisecond latency and absolute correctness actually matter, where a bug directly impacts real-money flows.
My philosophy is straightforward: I don't do hands-off consulting or drop in generic templates. I get into your codebase, join your Slack, and work directly with your team from the initial whiteboard architecture down to the final production deploy. If a project grows and we need more hands, I pull in trusted, specialist engineers from my personal network. But day-to-day, you're working with me, a peer who actually understands sportsbooks, PAMs, and transaction-heavy backends.

built for iGaming teams.
For iGaming operators, platform providers, and engineering teams. All engagements are founder-led, with specialist support introduced when required.
Embedded iGaming Engineering Partner
Direct integration into your core engineering team, working within your existing sprints, stack, and tooling. Tier-1 iGaming expertise embedded from week one, with zero onboarding lag and immediate contributions to production code.
Suitable for
Architecture Review
A structured review of your platform architecture to surface delivery risks, reliability gaps, scalability constraints, and operational blind spots before they become production incidents.
Suitable for
Fractional Principal Engineer
Ongoing senior technical leadership without a full-time hire. Drive architectural decisions, set engineering standards, and provide oversight across the delivery roadmap.
Suitable for
A specialist engineering consultancy focused exclusively on iGaming systems. You won't need to explain how a sportsbook works.
How it works
What working together
actually looks like.
A straightforward process focused on understanding your systems and delivery challenges, and moving fast once there's a fit.
Discovery conversation
A practical conversation about your systems, priorities, and where senior expertise can help. If there's a fit, I move quickly.
Technical assessment
I assess the systems involved, identify where the real challenges are, and confirm whether my background is the right match: sportsbook, casino, lottery, PAM, or platform infrastructure.
Embedded collaboration
I work within your existing engineering setup and delivery process. No separate workstream, no coordination overhead. The goal is to feel like part of the team, not an outside vendor.
Delivery and outcomes
Success is measured by what ships and what holds up in production. As your priorities evolve, the engagement adapts. I stay as long as the work requires it, and step back cleanly when it doesn't.
