Daniel Illenberger is a versatile founding full-stack engineer with 8 years of experience building product-facing systems, embedded hardware, and mission-critical operational tooling. He co-founded and led hardware/software startups, shipping ESP32-based devices, FreeRTOS prototypes, and React Native mobile apps while also driving backend infrastructure on AWS and PostgreSQL. Currently at PostgresML he blends Rust backend work with modern frontend stacks to deliver marketing and product features, build CMS and teams functionality, and prototype LLM context providers under tight deadlines. His early career in naval nuclear labs honed rigorous safety, testing, and systems-integration skills that inform his methodical approach to migrations, rollout planning, and preventing data loss. Based in Grand Junction, Colorado, he pairs technical breadth—from KiCad hardware design to Rocket and Leptos Rust web work—with a curiosity for crypto, markets, and climbing that keeps him exploring unconventional problem spaces.
