Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Quiroga is an Engineering Manager and senior full-stack engineer with a decade of experience leading and scaling remote software teams from Colombia. He progressed through hands-on roles in front-end, back-end, and data engineering—shipping features on Open edX and speaking at its conferences—before formalizing the engineering manager role at eduNEXT and shaping company-wide leadership and processes. Comfortable in Python/Django, React, data pipelines (Kafka, BigQuery, Spark) and infrastructure as code, he blends technical depth with strong product and client-facing skills. Daniel is passionate about engineering culture, having adapted Spotify-inspired practices to improve alignment and career ladders, and he still codes occasionally to stay close to the product. An early game-dev background (Unity) and work on native device integrations hint at a pragmatic, full-spectrum engineering mindset.
