Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDan Schultzer is an open source developer and entrepreneur with 14 years of experience building products and advising teams from the San Francisco Bay Area. An Elixir enthusiast who maintains and contributes to Elixir/Erlang libraries, he combines hands-on backend work (including refining authentication flows in pow) with low-level tooling and automation—evident from contributions to the well-known node-opencv bindings where he improved video capture, face recognition, and build/debug infrastructure. He has founded and exited startups (Spaces acquired by Shopify) and led companies focused on product, strategy, and engineering, bringing a founder’s lens to technical architecture and delivery. Comfortable moving between strategic advisory and deep technical implementation, he still prefers to “just build stuff” while helping teams simplify architecture and ship faster.
