Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Hines is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building systems that span embedded software, blockchain infrastructure, and scientific instrumentation. He blends a passion for functional programming, type theory, and distributed systems with practical Rust and web engineering—having shipped instrument control and analytics for a production molecular spectrometer and contributed core work to the Tezos ecosystem. As founder of a crypto payments startup, he moved an idea to Tezos Mainnet MVP and first sales in a single quarter, demonstrating rapid product iteration and on-chain deployment expertise. Currently developing embedded software for electronic warfare at Anduril, he pairs low-level systems fluency with a preference for reproducible tooling (yes, he uses Nix). Colocated in Costa Mesa, CA, Daniel brings a pragmatic curiosity—comfortable moving between research-grade science, safety-critical firmware, and entrepreneurial shipping.
