Daniel Baker is a software engineer graduating in May 2025 with dual degrees in Computer Engineering and Economics, currently based in San Francisco and joining Microsoft to work on Viva Engage Search. He has hands-on experience building production APIs and AI analytics at scale from a Microsoft internship that served millions of users, and applied embedded and RF test systems in internships at Northrop Grumman and Eberhard. Daniel pairs low-level systems knowledge—taught as a CS/EE teaching assistant who explained assembly through C/C++—with practical product delivery across cloud and hardware domains. Comfortable leading in both lab and retail settings, he brings a curious, small‑town pragmatism to complex problems and a track record of shipping end-to-end solutions.
