Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Pereira is a Site Reliability Engineering Manager with 16 years of experience leading platform, data and SRE teams responsible for petabyte-scale, real-time analytics at Rakuten. He combines hands-on expertise in streaming architectures (Kafka, Spark, Flink), data warehousing, and observability with people leadership—overseeing platform reliability, security, data management and compliance for one of Rakuten's largest streaming analytics deployments. His background spans R&D in networking, large-scale storage and video transmission, plus academic research on QoS and routing in wireless mesh networks, giving him a systems-oriented lens on reliability and performance. He has repeatedly led cross-team integrations and PoCs to bring open-source technologies into production, and has experience across the full data stack from ELT to real-time OLAP. Colocated in Chiyoda, Japan, he pairs deep technical breadth with operational rigor and a track record of scaling infrastructure to serve millions of events per second. Unusually for an SRE leader, he also has a strong research pedigree that informs pragmatic choices around QoS, routing metrics and resilient system design.
