Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Abel is a staff engineer with three decades of software delivery experience and a current focus on developer-facing and sales-enabling platforms at Pleo. He blends hands-on coding in Go, JavaScript (Node/React) and systems work with pragmatic technical leadership—incubating teams, decomposing monoliths, and driving full production ownership. At Snyk and TES he led platform rewrites, replatforming and engineering security efforts that turned cross-functional teams into reliable, continuously deploying organisations. As an experienced consultant he has repeatedly stepped into struggling teams to deliver code, coach engineers, and reshape delivery practices for scale. Based in Hertsmere, UK, he pairs deep legacy systems experience (C/C++ and enterprise OLAP) with modern cloud-native tooling, making him unusually comfortable across both low-level performance work and product-facing features. Colleagues rely on him to tackle the knottiest technical problems early while growing team capability for the long term.
