Daniel Dias is a senior software engineer from Paraná, Brazil with 14 years of experience building cloud-native systems, observability tooling, and high-throughput services across startups and large companies. He blends backend engineering (Go, Ruby, Node.js) with frontend work and DevOps practices, recently contributing full‑stack improvements to the open-source Tracetest project used for OpenTelemetry-driven testing. At Wildlife Studios he cut game-team provisioning time from a week to an hour by automating infra and pipelines, and at Sprinklr he handled real-time compliance pipelines processing hundreds of thousands of messages per minute. He holds advanced degrees from USP, including doctoral work in computer science, and brings a research-minded approach to practical production problems. Equally comfortable writing CLI fixes or redesigning UI resource cards, he focuses on observability-driven development and automations that accelerate teams.
