Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Bryan is a seasoned DevOps and infrastructure engineer with two decades of IT experience and a recent nine-year focus on cloud-native and blockchain systems. He has led validator operations and maintained 30+ chains for Cosmos ecosystems, created Docker, Terraform and Kubernetes tooling, and contributed to the widely used eth-docker project for Ethereum node automation. Comfortable at the intersection of security, automation, and reliability, he has designed enterprise PKI and compliance solutions, migrated production workloads to EKS, and built repeatable Terraform modules for multi-account AWS environments. A natural troubleshooter and communicator, Daniel has acted as technical lead, consultant, and SRE across startups and major organizations including the Ethereum Foundation, AWS, and Strangelove Crypto. Based in Laurel, Maryland, he pairs deep operational know-how with a curious mindset—recently channeling that into launching Cosmos chains and exploring blockchain primitives. Not obvious from titles alone: he combines hands-on low-level ops (validators, horcrux remote signing) with large-scale automation and incident leadership.
