Top SchoolDan Mauk is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building and optimizing web services and platforms, currently contributing at Microsoft after earlier work on Minecraft and large-scale client projects.

Outside engineering he plays banjo and guitar, a creative outlet that reflects his habit of exploring varied interests.
