Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Tehranian is a software architect and technical leader based in Austin with a 30-year track record of driving large-scale infrastructure, reliability, and cost-optimization initiatives at cloud-native companies. At Twilio he led FinOps and SRE efforts that unlocked tens of millions in annual cloud savings, pioneered service-mesh and Kubernetes migrations, and now is steering an OpenTelemetry observability migration and AI innovation. He combines hands-on engineering—shipping tools like an internal "IQ Bot", traffic-recording load-testing tooling, and BigQuery log pipelines—with people leadership across IC and manager roles. Known for turning chaotic processes into repeatable, automated systems, he repeatedly delivered dramatic improvements in build/test times, deployment velocity, and operational visibility. Comfortable across the stack from OS and kernel-level performance fixes to high-level platform design, he brings a pragmatic bias for tools that measurably reduce cost and incident risk. His background in both product and operational roles, plus teaching and internal evangelism, makes him effective at translating technical improvements into business outcomes.
