Summary
Shea Daniels is an engineering manager with over a decade of full-stack experience building payment and portal platforms, currently leading the Dwolla Dashboard team to reduce friction, enable self-service, and deliver reliable microservices and APIs. He blends hands-on development in JavaScript, React, Scala, C#, and Docker with product-minded UX sensibilities and a continuous-delivery culture that ships daily. A servant leader who prioritizes psychological safety, Shea has led cross-functional teams integrating financial institutions and driving growth features that power real-world transactions at scale. He’s also active in community inclusion work—founding the Transition Forward Project and partnering with local organizations—bringing diversity and accessibility into product and team strategy.
