Top SchoolDaniel Kuppitz is a seasoned backend and graph systems engineer with 13 years of experience, currently operating as a "Bytecode Wrestler" and co-founding Tangible while contributing to crypto startups. He has deep expertise in graph computing—having been a Gremlin Architect at DataStax and a meaningful contributor to high-profile open-source projects like Apache TinkerPop and the Titan distributed graph database—where he improved indexing and bulk-loading behaviors. Daniel blends hands-on core-engineering (Java, Lucene integrations, query offsets) with solution architecture and customer-facing consulting, enabling performant distributed query systems. Based in Tucson, he pairs startup grit with enterprise-grade delivery, and quietly bridges low-level bytecode/loader improvements with pragmatic, production-ready graph solutions.
