about
Hey, I'm Daniel. I love software and everything involved to make it work — from Neural Networks, AI/ML pipelines, and Distributed Systems, down to Mobile and Web UI.
I'm a software engineer from Guadalajara, Mexico, currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area. At MinIO, I built cloud-native infrastructure including a Kubernetes Operator, management Console, and enterprise storage architecture.
Outside of work I explore tech history, shoot film with my Leica, and talk too much about technology.
