Dan Cromer is a software engineer with 12 years of experience building scalable data infrastructure and low-latency pipelines, now at Meta after leading data engineering efforts at Outreach. He designed a protobuf-to-lakehouse pipeline with sub-5-minute latency across hundreds of topics and launched a zero-copy multi-cloud data sharing system used by the company’s largest customers. His background spans startups and enterprise roles—from architecting cloud genomics compression as a co-founder to improving deployment and operations at Microsoft and Data Axle—giving him a rare blend of product-minded engineering and operational rigor. He also coaches teams on incident detection and response, measurably improving MTTD/MTTM/MTTR across organizations. Based in Seattle, he focuses on the hard tradeoffs of scale, speed, and cost, and brings a track record of turning complex data challenges into production-ready systems.
