Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Huss is a Senior Software Consultant based in Calgary with six years of hands-on experience modernizing Ruby on Rails codebases and advocating test-driven development. At Test Double he helps teams reclaim joy and ownership of legacy systems through pragmatic refactoring, strong communication, and developer tooling. A regular speaker (RailsConf 2023) and Test Double blog author, he pairs public thought leadership with day-to-day mentorship and technical audits. His background spans full-stack work with React/JavaScript and a focus on maintainable architecture from his head-of-mentorship role at Pixeltree. He’s equally comfortable in pairing sessions and client-facing delivery, and brings an unusual combination of communication training (BA in Communication and Media Studies) and deep TDD practice to accelerate team learning.
