Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Sultanowsky is a Senior Software Developer and former special forces operator who brings eight years of engineering experience and nearly a decade of high-stakes military leadership to cloud-native and distributed systems. He has led full-stack and platform efforts—from rewriting Mudmap in Go and deploying on Kubernetes to building large-scale data processing and messaging systems for Australian government projects and, most recently, enabling NATS at scale at Synadia. Comfortable across Python, Go, React, serverless, CI/CD and IaC, he champions pragmatic migrations (notably small-container Go services) that improve build times and portability. Daniel pairs hands-on engineering with operational rigor and mentorship learned in elite military units, making him adept at rapid problem-solving under pressure and communicating complex trade-offs. His open-source contributions include Python challenge work with the well-known PyBites community, demonstrating continual learning and community engagement outside his day job. Based in Queensland, he seeks roles that value a generalist with a strong work ethic, quick ramp-up ability, and wide technical curiosity.
