Daniel O'neil is an ML software engineer with 11 years of experience who blends practical software engineering with deep scientific training (PhD in Physical Chemistry) to build data-driven systems in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has applied Python-based data science and database design to shrink reporting time by 95% at prior roles, and has built AI models, backtesting systems, and onsite financial data databases as a quantitative strategist. At Genentech he focuses on machine learning and informatics, bringing a hands-on learning style—he prototypes toys to master new technologies before applying them to production problems. He thrives on cross-disciplinary teams and pairs domain expertise in financial modeling and electrochemistry with production-focused engineering. An unexpected strength is turning curiosity-driven projects (like a horse genetics simulation used to learn relational design) into measurable business impact.
