Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Harms is a Senior Principal Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building secure, distributed systems and edge platforms, currently based in Columbus, Ohio. He led foundational work on Dell NativeEdge, designing immutable, tamper-evident Linux boot chains, container hosting strategies for locked-down hosts, and novel public-key delegation models for disconnected fleets—work that underpins multiple pending patents. His background spans systems programming, distributed coordination (Raft POC for VM failover), and back-end development across startups, enterprise R&D, and clinical bioinformatics, with hands-on contributions to the EdgeX Foundry Golang monorepo. Comfortable in both research and production contexts, he often bridges cross-company engineering collaborations (e.g., Dell–Canonical) and enjoys improving security and operational tooling for large-scale fleets. An early dual major in math and CS, he mixes theoretical rigor with pragmatic engineering and a penchant for thoughtful code reviews and clean JavaScript.
