Stunzer Digital was born from a simple conviction: technology should be driven by data, not guesswork. Founded by Daniel Runzer in Toronto, Canada, with two decades of enterprise data and analytics experience behind it.
Daniel spent twenty years immersed in data, building enterprise dashboards, leading Power BI rollouts, designing ETL pipelines, architecting analytics platforms, and translating complex datasets into actionable business intelligence. The pattern became clear: the most impactful work was not just in uncovering insights, but in embedding those insights directly into the software people use every day.
That realization sparked Stunzer Digital. The mission: bridge the gap between raw data and real digital products. Build a company where every line of code is informed by data, every platform generates insight, and every automation frees humans to do higher-value work.
Strategic data and analytics leader with 20 years of experience driving enterprise transformation. Deep expertise in Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, and the Azure data stack. Hands-on with DAX, SQL, Python, and modern data architecture. Microsoft certified across Fabric, Power BI, Azure, and AI.
That data foundation became a superpower when combined with modern web development, cloud architecture, and AI. Daniel does not just build software, he builds software that thinks, measures, and adapts.

Purpose
Empower businesses with intelligent, data-driven technology that creates measurable impact.
We exist to close the gap between what technology can do and what most businesses are actually getting from it. Too many companies are sitting on valuable data they cannot access, running on systems that do not talk to each other, and missing opportunities that the right automation could unlock. We change that, one project at a time, with solutions that are practical, measurable, and built to last.
A world where every business has access to the same data and AI capabilities that power the most innovative companies.
The tools and techniques that drive companies like Google, Netflix, and Shopify should not be locked behind massive R&D budgets. We envision a future where intelligent data platforms, predictive analytics, and AI-powered automation are standard operating equipment for businesses of every size. Stunzer Digital is building toward that future.
Our values
These are not corporate platitudes on a wall. They are the principles we apply to every engagement, every technical decision, and every line of code we write.
Every decision should be informed by data. From choosing the right tech stack to optimizing user experiences, analytics guide our path. We instrument everything: page load times, conversion funnels, API latencies, user behavior. Before we propose, we look at the numbers. Before we ship, we measure the impact.
We do not ship half-baked solutions. Every line of code is written with care, tested thoroughly, and optimized for performance and reliability. Comprehensive test coverage, code reviews on every PR, automated CI/CD pipelines, and performance budgets. Software you can trust to scale.
No black boxes. You always know what we are building, why we are building it, and how it is performing. We share access to project boards, staging environments, and analytics dashboards from day one. Honest assessments, including when things do not go as planned.
Technology moves fast. We stay ahead by constantly exploring new tools, frameworks, and methodologies. Time every week for research and experimentation. When a new technology proves its value, we integrate it. When it does not, we have saved our clients the cost.
Engagement model
A proven engagement model designed to reduce risk, maximize clarity, and deliver real value at every stage.
We invest time upfront to understand your business model, data landscape, and technical constraints. We dig into workflows, interview stakeholders, and map out where technology can have the highest ROI.
Before writing code, we design the system architecture, data models, and integration points. You get a clear technical blueprint with timelines, costs, and milestones. We think through edge cases, scalability, and security so there are no surprises downstream.
We build in sprints with regular demos and feedback loops. Every sprint delivers working functionality you can see and test. This lets us adapt to new learnings, reprioritize based on real feedback, and ensure the final product is exactly what your business needs.
Deployment is the starting line, not the finish. We set up monitoring, analytics, and alerting so you can measure impact from day one. We stay engaged to optimize performance, iterate on features, and ensure the system continues to deliver value as your business evolves.
Our journey
Twenty years of enterprise data and analytics transformation. Building executive dashboards, designing ETL pipelines, architecting reporting platforms, leading Power BI Centers of Excellence, and translating raw numbers into strategic insight. Mastering the language of data and how to make it useful.
Data insights are only powerful when they are built into the systems people use every day. Too many brilliant analyses end up in static reports that gather dust. That drove a deliberate expansion into full-stack development, cloud architecture, and AI so we could embed insights directly into products and workflows.
Stunzer Digital is a complete technology partner combining data expertise, AI capabilities, and software engineering. Based in Toronto, Canada. We work with businesses across North America to design, build, and scale digital products that are intelligent by default.
We are building a world-class team of engineers, data scientists, and strategists. Our roadmap includes investing in applied AI research, developing proprietary internal tools, and expanding our consulting practice. The goal: make enterprise-grade AI and data capabilities accessible to businesses of all sizes.
As we scale, we are bringing on talented engineers, data scientists, and strategists who share our passion for data-driven technology.
