Summary
Daniel Ross is a Lead Engineer with 12 years’ experience building backend and DevOps systems across fintech and gaming, currently leading platform work at Form3. He combines pragmatic microservice and event-driven architecture design with hands-on implementation in Go, Rust, .NET Core, TypeScript/Node, and Java, and is comfortable across SQL and distributed databases like Postgres and CockroachDB. Regularly operating in AWS/Azure and Kubernetes environments, he also drives infrastructure as code with Terraform and configuration management with Puppet. His career progression from developer to principal and lead roles shows both deep technical craft and team-level delivery ownership. A first-class Computer Science graduate from Newcastle, he’s quietly focused on evolving backend toolchains and exploring Rust and Go for robust, low-latency services. Colleagues value him for translating domain-driven design into resilient, scalable systems rather than flashy one-off experiments.
