Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Lanner is a Principal Software Engineer and co-founder with 11 years of experience building cloud-native data pipelines and creative tooling for games, VFX, and animation. He led development of Snowtrack, an artist-friendly distributed version control system dubbed “git for artists,” which was acquired and integrated into NEP Virtual Studios, and now continues his work at Perforce. Comfortable across C++, Go, Python, .NET, Kubernetes and Docker, he bridges engineering and artistry—shaping developer-facing infrastructure that respects creative workflows. His background at Ubisoft, Pixomondo and Maxon reflects deep domain expertise in real-time systems, cinematic pipelines and interoperability between creative tools. Unusually, his product thinking was sparked by philosophical conversations in Montréal microbreweries, blending cultural insight with technical design.
