Daniel Strizhevsky is a software engineer and founder with 11 years of experience building robotics and ML-driven systems from NYC. As Co-Founder of Carrot Labs (YC W26) and a former path planning engineer at Zipline, he combines product-minded startup experience with hands-on navigation and platform engineering for aerial robotics. His background includes infrastructure and scale work at Robinhood plus internships at Google and Airbnb, reflecting a blend of production reliability and research curiosity. Trained in Computer Science and Mathematics at Vanderbilt, he gravitates toward algorithmic challenges that intersect perception, control, and cloud platforms. Colleagues describe him as an operator who moves quickly from prototype to deployable systems while keeping an eye on long-term architecture. He often pairs practical engineering with ML experimentation, a less obvious throughline that fuels his work on autonomous systems.
