Engineering
TypeScript, React, and Node across the full stack, with a soft spot for clean data models and APIs that are a pleasure to consume. I write code other people can read a year later.

Hi, I'm Daniel Reyes
I build reliable, well-crafted software and the teams that ship it. Twelve years across infrastructure and product, currently leading a platform group — here are the highlights, the projects I am proud of, and how to reach me.
Skills
What I bring to a team
Replace these with your own strengths — the areas where you do your best work. Three focused pillars say more than a long list of buzzwords ever could.
Product sense
I care about the user on the other side of the screen. I'm comfortable scoping ambiguous problems, cutting the right corners, and shipping something small and useful before it's perfect.
Leadership
Mentoring engineers, reviewing thoughtfully, and keeping a team pointed at the goal. I believe the best technical work is quietly a team sport.
Selected projects
A few things I've shipped
Three sample projects to get you started. Swap in your own case studies, metrics, and links whenever you're ready — the layout holds together as you edit.
Tech Lead2024
Payments Platform Rebuild
Led a four-engineer team through a full rewrite of a legacy billing system serving 40,000 businesses. Cut checkout errors by 63%, halved page-load time, and shipped the migration with zero downtime over a single weekend.
Senior Engineer2023
Internal Analytics Suite
Designed and built the dashboards the whole company now runs on — real-time metrics, self-serve reports, and alerting. It replaced a tangle of spreadsheets and became the first thing people open every morning.
Product Engineer2022
Onboarding Redesign
Rebuilt the new-user flow end to end, from the first screen to the activation email. Activation rose 28% in the first quarter, and support tickets from confused new users dropped by nearly half.

Recommendations
What colleagues say
A few words from people I've worked closely with. Replace these with real recommendations once you've gathered them — a short, specific quote beats a long generic one every time.
One of the few engineers who can hold the whole system in their head and still sweat the smallest detail. Everything shipped on time and was cleaner than the spec we handed over.
Calm under pressure, generous with knowledge, and relentlessly practical. I've watched them turn a vague roadmap into a shipped product twice now — I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.
The kind of teammate who lifts everyone around them. Great instincts, zero ego, and the most readable pull requests I've reviewed in years. A genuine force multiplier.

A starter set of answers you can rewrite in your own voice. Setting expectations up front saves everyone time.
Senior or lead engineering roles on small, product-focused teams — ideally somewhere I can own a problem end to end. Remote-first is a plus.
