Dan Buch is a Staff Software Engineer with 16 years of full‑stack and infrastructure experience, now focusing on ML deployment and tooling at Replicate after leading platform work at Posit. He blends backend systems, DevOps, and deployment automation—contributing to notable open-source projects like Travis CI, logrus, negroni, and the Cog container tooling—to move complex pipelines from prototype to production. Comfortable across languages and layers, Dan has deep experience with build systems, CI/CD, S3-backed logging, and async model servers, and he often pairs engineering work with documentation and tests. Based in Pittsburgh with a BA in Anthropology, he brings a pragmatic, curious approach—equally likely to refactor panic handling in a logging library as to add async predictors to an ML server.
