Founder at Wakumi
Groningen, Groningen, Netherlands
Summary
👤
SeniorDanny Li is a founder and seasoned software leader with 12 years of experience building scalable, reliable web systems from the ground up. Based in Groningen, he has repeatedly turned chaotic technical landscapes into structured, efficient platforms—most notably with Bot.tf, which processed hundreds of millions of items and sustained 100% uptime across a custom failover microservice architecture. He combines hands-on engineering and product leadership, having led engineering teams and driven strategic CTO-level decisions at Foodticket that cut infrastructure costs by 80%, reduced database size by 40%, and introduced robust security and disaster-recovery practices. Danny also builds and ships SaaS products through ventures like Exploriment and Wakumi and recently moved into technical product management at Lender & Spender, bridging product strategy and execution. His strengths lie in pragmatic systems design, cost- and reliability-focused optimizations, and translating complex operational requirements into maintainable processes. Not obvious from titles alone: he has deep operational experience with high-throughput trading systems and a proven track record of maintaining extreme availability under real-world scale.
