Summary
Daniel Vu is an independent contractor and pragmatically curious software engineer with 12 years of experience building scalable, secure platform and web systems from early startups to large enterprise products. He’s driven measurable outcomes—introducing Node.js and real-time feeds that doubled key metrics, leading EMR/Pig analytics, and driving CI and Git adoption—while also rebuilding legacy platforms and improving scalability at AWS scale. Comfortable across stacks (Java, Python, PHP, Node, AWS) he combines platform engineering and security expertise with hands-on feature delivery. Based in Lafayette, CA, he pairs technical problem-solving with a linguist’s curiosity—studying both computer and human languages—and brings a musician’s discipline from playing guitar and piano to complex engineering challenges.
