Summary
Daniel Farrell is an AI/ML Solutions Architect with over two decades of experience designing and delivering mission-critical databases, analytics, and cloud-native systems that have driven tens of millions in value. Currently shaping distributed SQL and PostgreSQL-compatible internals at Yugabyte, he combines deep hands-on expertise in consensus, distributed transactions, and Kubernetes with practical machine learning and graph analytics applied in production. He’s embedded with 100+ enterprises and governments, moving between startups and hyperscalers to solve thorny performance, scalability, and observability problems (most recently at Splunk and Katana Graph). Daniel publishes widely—authoring books and training courses—and is finishing a PhD focused on optimized graph traversal for time-series and geo-spatial relationships.
