Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Pyrathon is a versatile software engineer with 14 years of experience building full-stack and backend systems across startups and crypto-native companies, now based in Rome. He’s co-founded and led engineering at Bountycaster and shipped platform features at Farcaster, including a mini apps SDK, Coinbase onramp integration, and early AI-assisted developer tooling that scaled team velocity. His background spans DeFi and ML—technical lead work at 0x and contributions to the core Django framework and Shōgun ML toolbox demonstrate deep systems and open-source chops. Comfortable across Node.js/TypeScript, React/React Native, Cloudflare Workers, Rust, and data tooling (Dagster/dbt), he blends product-minded shipping with low-level engineering. An early Google Summer of Code Django contributor, he brings both academic rigor and startup grit, often tackling developer-facing problems from SDKs to infra.
