Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Balparda is a seasoned Staff SRE and engineering leader with over a decade of experience building and operating large-scale systems at Google and Chainlink Labs, now focused on data reliability at General Motors. He combines deep hands-on expertise across Python, C++, Java, Go and JavaScript with proven managerial experience leading 10+ engineer SRE teams through high-pressure incidents and pandemic-era challenges. As the sole developer/maintainer of Google’s internal Python linter, he bridged open-source contributions (pylint) with massive internal codebases, improving developer tooling used company-wide. His background spans frontend and backend at scale (including Orkut and services handling hundreds of thousands QPS), privacy and legal-compliance tooling that materially reduced legal risk, and repeated courtroom technical witness roles. An author of Brazil’s first widely adopted cryptography textbook and long-serving member of Google’s hiring committee, he pairs technical depth with mentorship and organizational impact.
