Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDan Hsiung is a senior engineering leader and founder with over two decades of experience building and scaling software teams and products, currently serving as Director of Engineering at Workday after Workday acquired his company Pipedream. He co-founded Pipedream, where he led backend and API development work—contributing notably to Dropbox integrations and event-driven API features in a high-throughput developer platform. Previously he led engineering for BrightRoll’s exchange and later Yahoo’s BrightRoll team, bringing deep expertise in ad tech, distributed systems, and productizing integrations. Based in San Francisco with a Princeton computer science background, he blends startup grit with enterprise leadership and a hands-on approach to APIs and error-resilient integrations. Not obvious from titles alone: he has repeatedly moved between founding roles and senior corporate leadership, demonstrating an ability to both invent developer-facing products and drive their adoption inside large organizations.
