Summary
Daniel Fang is a software engineer focused on large data systems and AI/ML infrastructure, currently interning on Autopilot core infra at Tesla while cofounding a stealth startup aimed at improving long-term memory and human connections across internet profiles. With nine years of experience and an MS in Data Science from Harvard underway, he blends research-oriented machine learning practice (e.g., parsing PubMed and building local vector DBs at Insilico) with hands-on production data work from roles at TerraCycle. He has a track record of building offline, agentic retrieval systems and unified memory architectures rather than one-off chatbots, signaling a preference for durable, privacy-conscious tooling. Based in Los Angeles and grounded in a quantitative background from UCLA in Data Theory and Economics, he moves fluidly between R&D experimentation and scalable engineering. Notably, his startup work explicitly tackles the social design of identity and connection, an uncommon focus for ML-infrastructure builders.
