Summary
Daniel Harris is a trading engineering lead with 11 years of experience designing and delivering highly tested, production-grade trading and blockchain systems. Based in Denver, he specializes in SOA/microservice architectures with deep expertise in messaging systems, idempotent workflows, and low-latency execution engines used for both customer-facing and proprietary trading. He has architected institutional-grade blockchain wallet software to address Bitcoin-like scalability and multisig safety issues, and led efforts that produced a +45% annual return with just a 6% max drawdown. Comfortable coding in whatever language the problem requires, Daniel has built end-to-end stacks using Python, Node.js, RabbitMQ, Postgres, InfluxDB, Redis and a wide range of database technologies. He pairs pragmatic engineering discipline—automated testing and resilience—with a trader’s focus on risk and yield, and has experience managing firm balance sheets through complex transitions such as DAO migration. An unusual background in music performance turned into methodical systems thinking, giving him a creative but disciplined approach to solving complex distributed problems.
