Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSophie Dankel is a full-stack software engineer with seven years of experience building scalable systems and shipping production services across companies like Apple, Fuel Labs, Convoy, and Amazon. She favors Rust and TypeScript and has strong expertise in microservice architecture, API design, front-end development, and observability, with hands-on experience in data infrastructure, ML training, networking, and compilers. Sophie has led small engineering teams but prefers an individual contributor role that leaves room for active open-source work—she has contributed backend improvements to FuelLabs/sway by modernizing logging with tracing and adding verbosity controls. A Seattle University CS graduate, she thrives on projects that push her to learn new layers of the stack and deliver maintainable, creative solutions. Outside of core product work she’s comfortable debugging from packet traces to high-level APIs, and she values employers that support remote work and generous family and health benefits.
