Daniel Bentley is a seasoned software engineer with 15 years of experience building developer tools and distributed systems, currently serving as Village Scribe at VillageSQL in New York. He has strong startup and product instincts from co-founding Windmill Engineering (exited to Docker) and hands-on experience at Anthropic, Twitter, and Google where he worked on spreadsheets, developer tooling, and open source. His contributions to the popular Tilt project show a focus on backend infrastructure and DevOps—clarifying service composition for Kubernetes and improving deployment resilience. Comfortable bridging product and systems-level engineering, he pairs a humanities background (BA in English from Stanford) with deep technical craft, which often surfaces in thoughtful developer workflows and documentation.
