Summary
Daniel Pennypacker is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building full-stack web applications and leading technical teams from Oakland, CA. He has driven migrations to modern cloud infrastructure and IaC, led design-system efforts, and shipped new apps using FastAPI and Terraform while maintaining and deprecating legacy e-commerce systems. At Tempo he saved tens of thousands annually with targeted automation and served repeatedly as a technical lead and mentor, balancing hands-on feature work with cross-team coordination and vendor management. Currently at Clio, he applies that mix of front-end and back-end expertise to cloud-based legal technology, bringing practical product sensibility from startups to larger orgs. Unusually, his background pairs a liberal arts BA in Math and English with deep engineering chops, making him equally comfortable explaining trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
