Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDan Rose is a pragmatic programmer with nine years of hands-on experience building embedded firmware, robotics software, and full-stack tooling from Minneapolis. He combines deep mathematical intuition (BA in Math & CS) with practical system design—refactoring core ROS 2 navigation components, improving Cyclone DDS build and packaging, and contributing documentation to the prominent ros2 project. Comfortable across firmware, backend, and frontend stacks, Dan has shipped VR/HW integrations, sonar DSP, and Vue.js visualizations while also solving large performance problems such as turning a slow MongoDB financial metrics app into a sub‑2s PostgreSQL solution. He thrives in research-driven environments—currently exploring classical implementations of quantum algorithms via algebraic rewriting and message-passing engines—and values clean, maintainable architectures and beautiful code. As a father of two and an active open-source contributor, he brings both curiosity and discipline to complex, multidisciplinary problems.
