Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDan Servos is an experienced software engineer and student based in Kitchener with two decades of hands-on development and QA work focused on backend systems, testing, and maintainability. He has contributed notable bug fixes, test coverage, and documentation improvements to high-profile deduplicating backup projects like attic and Borg, demonstrating deep familiarity with pruning and exclusion logic in archival systems. His open-source work also spans formal verification tooling, improving a Coq Homotopy Type Theory library by replacing tactics with lemmas for better compatibility and robustness. Comfortable toggling between engineering and QA roles, he brings a pragmatic attention to correctness and clarity that often surfaces as strengthened test suites and cleaner helper modules.
