Greater Boston United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEvan Danaher is a pragmatic backend and systems engineer with 12 years of experience building scalable, maintainable platforms across startups and larger teams in the Greater Boston area. He excels at connecting the big picture—product direction, deployment, and operations—with hands-on work from APIs and distributed systems to CLIs and visualizations, and has repeatedly improved autoscaling, deployment, and permission workflows. At Ooyala he helped design a Docker-based deployment/service manager and led adoption and documentation, and later roles have focused on reliability, cost-aware autoscaling, and infrastructure-as-code. He enjoys puzzles and algorithms, and brings that problem-solving instinct to thorny troubleshooting and capacity planning where elegant theory sometimes meets practical wins. Evan prioritizes usability, security, and long-term reliability over quick fixes, and likes being aware of company strategy so engineering choices align with business direction. Quietly curious and broad in interests, he moves comfortably between deep systems work and occasional front-end or integration tasks to keep systems cohesive.
