Jon Daniel is a Principal Member of Technical Staff with 15 years of experience building and operating large-scale backend and cloud infrastructure, currently leading platform work at Salesforce in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has deep expertise in provisioning and running stateful data products (Postgres, Redis, Kafka) on AWS, having overseen hundreds of thousands of databases and a petabyte-scale backup archive at Heroku. A pragmatic engineering leader, he initiated Trailhead’s GraphQL API to unify mobile and bot clients and routinely balances hands-on coding (Ruby, Go, C) with shaping team culture and operational reliability.
