Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Hanson is a pragmatic backend software developer with 11 years of experience building and optimizing APIs, ETL pipelines, and data systems across Elixir, Python, and Ruby stacks. Based in Salt Lake City, he led performance-focused migrations—most notably porting public-facing APIs from Ruby/Sinatra to Elixir/Phoenix—to dramatically shrink resource use and speed up responses by an order of magnitude. His work spans AWS services (ECS, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB), Postgres, Elasticsearch, and Dynamo, and includes deep experience with legacy system integrations, message queues, and data cleanup. Comfortable working across the full backend lifecycle, he has repeatedly improved throughput and lowered operational cost by refactoring, query optimization, and lean deployments. He’s particularly passionate about functional programming and is actively pursuing more Elixir and similar FP opportunities to apply those idioms to large-scale production systems.
