Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Andrews is a founder and CEO with 12 years of software engineering experience, currently building and scaling Playground from New York. A UC Berkeley-trained EECS/CS engineer, he moved from internships at companies like Slack, PayPal, and DoNotPay into product and platform roles at Brex before launching his own startup. He combines hands-on full-stack development with operator instincts—shaping product, hiring, and engineering culture at an early-stage company. His GitHub focus on TryPlayground signals an emphasis on developer tooling and sandboxed experiences that lower friction for product experimentation. Known for moving quickly from prototype to production, he balances technical depth with customer-facing urgency. Actively hiring, he’s seeking to expand a pragmatic, growth-oriented engineering team.
