Top SchoolDaniel Echlin is a software engineer and founder with 11 years of experience building observability and scalable systems at companies from Google to MongoDB and Chime. He blends backend rigor (Java, Go, Typescript) with product-minded frontend work and deep expertise in distributed tracing and Datadog-driven observability. At Type2Dialogue he’s applying technical and facilitation skills to improve difficult political conversations, demonstrating an uncommon mix of engineering discipline and human-centered civic work. A Columbia MS in Computer Science and a math degree from Michigan underpin a pragmatic approach to complex systems and mentoring. He’s comfortable translating low-level telemetry into high-level availability decisions and enjoys interdisciplinary curiosities—currently studying early medieval history, Ishiguro, and the original The Last of Us game. Based in New York, he’s also learning Mandarin and looking for language partners and a new software engineering role.
