Summary
🤩
RockstarDan Stone is a Clojure-focused software engineer with 12 years' experience building robust back-end systems and leading engineering teams across e‑commerce, media, and data platforms. He’s delivered high-quality, iterative modernisations—most notably migrating Riverford’s legacy PHP stack to a production Clojure platform supporting search, cataloguing, logistics and personalised commerce. As a senior engineer at JUXT and a contributor to Metabase, he combines deep expertise in associative/graph information systems, log-backed distributed databases, and data-flow tooling with practical experience in serialization, CSV ingestion and integrations like Slack. Dan enjoys tackling optimisation and ML-for-developer problems and prefers to solve hard systems problems using Clojure as his general-purpose tool. He’s equally comfortable shipping code, mentoring engineers, and shaping engineering culture, having built teams, CI workflows, and automated deploys from the ground up. Based in England, he now runs wotbrew, continuing hands-on work and team building around data-centric systems.
