Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Cepeda is an infrastructure and data engineer with a decade of experience building and operating high-throughput backend systems, including two Kubernetes microservices that handle thousands of RPS for event logging and stream routing. Over nearly nine years at Quizlet he moved from senior infrastructure and DBA responsibilities to staff-level data engineering, leading migrations (MySQL to Spanner), on-call stabilization, and end-to-end project lifecycles from design to retirement. He excels at incident response, reducing alert fatigue to zero, and bridging application and database teams to resolve complex performance issues. Comfortable owning both prototype MVPs and long-lived production services, he enjoys mentoring teams through onboarding and handoffs. Unusually, his background as a licensed nuclear reactor operator informs a disciplined, monitoring-first approach to observability and alerting that he applies to modern cloud systems.
