Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Garcia is a Machine Learning Engineer with 14 years of experience building scalable, production-grade systems and a current focus on applying graph neural networks to integrity and recommendation systems at Meta. He blends deep ML research with strong engineering instincts from extensive roles at Red Hat—where he led Insights Compliance and contributed broadly to Foreman, Katello, and Satellite—and earlier systems work at CERN. Comfortable across the stack, Daniel has shipped backend and DevOps solutions (OpenStack, Docker, cloud integrations) and improved developer-facing tooling in well-known open-source projects like Fog and theforeman. His nickname as a "professional neural network nudger" captures a pragmatic approach: nudging models and infrastructure into reliable, maintainable production. He holds graduate training from Georgia Tech and brings an uncommon combination of open-source stewardship, large-scale systems experience, and hands-on ML deployment expertise.
