Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Connelly is a Staff Engineer with 14 years of experience building large-scale mapping and search systems, currently working on AI in Maps at Google after a recent Staff Engineer stint at Airbnb. He blends deep systems and spatial-index expertise—evidenced by his open-source rtreego R-Tree library for Go—with a strong track record across Google, Butterfly Network, Teads, and other engineering leadership roles. Comfortable shipping both infrastructure and product-facing features, he has repeatedly led cross-functional efforts to make location-aware search and core maps infrastructure more robust and scalable. Based in Paris but with a long U.S. career, he pairs an applied-mathematics and computer-science background from Georgia Tech with a practical knack for turning spatial algorithms into production services.
