Top SchoolDaniel Connor is a technical founder and engineering leader with 14 years of hands-on experience and over 20 years engaging deeply with scalable systems, distributed databases, and design-first engineering culture. As CEO and founder of Autopoetic and a former senior principal engineer at Google/Mandiant, he has built production-grade APIs and attack surface management platforms that operate at extreme scale.
