Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Goertzen is a seasoned Design Engineer based in Winnipeg, Canada, with 14 years building embedded Linux systems, microcontroller firmware, desktop software and single-page frontends across C, C++, Rust, Python and several functional languages. He blends low-level embedded expertise with higher-level application and QA skills, contributing to critical open-source projects like Erlang/OTP and the ninenines erlang.mk build tool where he added a Rust plugin and comprehensive tests. His work improving SNMP and public key handling in Erlang/OTP and enhancing Haskell’s wai/warp for Windows shows a pattern of fixing subtle platform and tooling edge cases. Comfortable across paradigms—from Erlang and Haskell to Qt and Django—he brings a pragmatic, test-first approach to complex integration problems. Long tenures at Norscan Instruments and Network Integrity Systems reflect deep product-focused engineering and an ability to ship reliable systems in regulated, hardware-centric domains.
