Daniel Beecham is a senior systems engineer based in Berlin with 14+ years building embedded and cloud architectures, including leading OS design for constrained gateways and secure boot/PKI systems. He combines deep systems and security expertise (HSMs, mbedTLS, OpenSSL, PKCS#11, SELinux/GRSecurity) with hands-on embedded work on STM32 and Linux device trees, plus operational experience running hardened Gentoo/Red Hat and Kubernetes migrations. At Plejd he grew a custom gateway from proof-of-concept to an 8-person product team and designed the full update, logging and manufacturing stack. Avid tinkerer and NixOS/vim power-user, he contributes practical improvements to developer tools (vim-slime) and cares about code quality and maintainability. Outside core engineering he applies technical creativity to large-scale stage and projection design, blending visual arts with Python/GLSL and laser/lighting systems.
