Summary
Dan Kapellusch is an engineering leader with a decade of experience designing and shipping distributed, event-driven microservice systems using C# and the .NET ecosystem. Based in Phoenix, he progressed from hands-on software and QA roles to leading teams and now serving as Associate Director of Engineering at Carvana, where he blends architecture, product collaboration, and operational rigor. He has deep experience in test automation, CI/CD, and turning legacy code into maintainable services while mentoring engineers and driving cross-functional consensus. Known for building resilient, eventually-consistent systems and pragmatic APIs, he also brings practical embedded and desktop product experience from earlier roles—an uncommon combination that helps him reason from device-level constraints up to large-scale cloud services.
