Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Flanigan is a Forward Deployed Engineer and technical lead with 14 years of experience transitioning from a PhD-trained experimental physicist to a data-driven Python developer at Palantir. He brings deep expertise in modeling complex physical systems, extracting actionable insight from large datasets, and communicating results through compelling visual and verbal narratives, backed by 19 peer-reviewed publications. At Palantir he has applied these skills across risk, security, and automotive domains, translating research-grade rigor into deployable software and operational impact. His background in superconducting materials, quantum electronics, and experimental cosmology gives him a rare ability to bridge advanced scientific models and production engineering. An early career as a professional poker player also honed his decision-making under uncertainty and applied-statistics thinking, which he now leverages in data-centric product delivery.
