Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Piron is a Senior Engineer based in New York with over 15 years in the financial sector and a decade of hands-on experience building and operating complex, cross-platform distributed systems. He excels under pressure, delivering tooling and build systems (including a multi-language, cross-platform dependency manager) that enabled zero-downtime transitions between source-control and artifact stores for hundreds of clients. Proficient in C, C++, Python and Perl, he pairs deep low-level debugging and performance insight with practical automation—creating test frameworks, regression utilities, and release transparency reports that improved operational reliability. Outside finance he contributes to open-source classics by porting retro BASIC games to memory-safe scripting languages like Python, demonstrating an eye for clean, user-facing logic and playful engineering. His background in photography and product concept art hints at a rare mix of technical rigor and visual sensibility that informs his approach to UX and tooling.
