Summary
Daniel Vagg is a Senior Engineer in AI with 13 years of experience translating scientific rigor into production software, now building AI systems at Zapier after co-founding and leading VaDiX Solutions. A Python-focused full-stack architect with a masters in space science, he has delivered end-to-end platforms—from CI/CD and data analysis at Mastercard to embedded Raspberry Pi prototypes and high-altitude glider projects. He blends physics-trained analytical thinking with pragmatic automation (he admits to being “lazy enough to study automation”), favoring systems that make computers do interesting, real-world work. Comfortable operating in regulated corporate environments and startups alike, he steers innovation while ensuring secure, operational handover through documentation and workshops. Based in Ireland, he has an uncommon background bridging space-science signal analysis and hands-on systems engineering, and he aspires to teach to ignite that same curiosity in others.
