Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Bittman is a founder and systems-minded researcher with 14 years of hands-on experience writing low-level code and exploring operating system kernels. As Co-Founder of Elephance Memory and a long-running graduate student researcher at UC Santa Cruz, he blends entrepreneurial drive with deep academic rigor from dual bachelor’s degrees in Physics and Computer Science and ongoing PhD work. He thrives on “weird and interesting” computing problems—building memory- and kernel-oriented solutions rather than typical application stacks. Based in California, he brings practical operational experience from campus IT roles and a history of incremental research-to-product progression. Colleagues can expect a curious engineer who prefers digging into internals and inventing novel approaches over incremental feature work.
