Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Finke is a Principal Engineer with 11+ years building full-stack, cross-platform systems across Erlang, PHP, JavaScript, mobile (iOS/Android), and C-family languages. He has deep experience in distributed telephony platforms—contributing to and shipping features for Kazoo and optimizing its AMQP pipelines for orders-of-magnitude performance gains—and continues to develop first‑party Kazoo integrations. Comfortable across databases (CouchDB, Riak, Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server) and cloud tooling, he’s delivered developer-focused infrastructure like pipelining frameworks, Docker/Kubernetes manifests, and tooling to diagnose Erlang memory issues. At Unity and Digg he’s driven robustness and developer productivity (TypeScript/Electron work, Apple Silicon support, IDE/debug integrations), while also maintaining consumer mobile apps (multiple App Store and Play Store titles). Colleagues describe him as highly collaborative, practically minded, and unusually invested in projects—he even scrapes emulated N64 game stats into data stores as a side project. Based in Port Moody, BC, he pairs strong systems-level intuition with a track record of shipping reliable, high-performance production software.
