Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Kozlowski is a Principal Engineer with 14 years of experience building and leading teams that deliver large-scale, reliable systems across defense, finance, and cloud-native database platforms. He has driven storage and deployment platforms at Robinhood and PlanetScale—extending the open-source Vitess project to improve MySQL clustering, MariaDB compatibility, TLS stability, and replication logic—and now applies that systems expertise to defense technology at Anduril. Comfortable both as an individual contributor and as an executive-level engineering leader, he has a track record of modernizing cloud infrastructure and SRE practices at the Department of Veterans Affairs and scaling engineering organizations from the ground up. Based in Willow Street, PA, he combines deep controls and networking roots with hands-on backend and database engineering, and, less obviously, balances technical leadership with running a coffee-roasting operation.
