Profile

About

I'm Daniel Shaby, a full stack software engineer based in Los Angeles.

I fell in love with software through data structures and algorithms, then built a career shipping products that are both useful and well-crafted.

I currently lead full-stack modernization work at TS Industrial, focused on serverless microservices, type-safe contracts, and production-grade CI/CD.

My UC Berkeley training in Economics and Public Health shaped how I approach complex systems: structured thinking, clear communication, and practical execution.

I enjoy taking ambiguous product problems and turning them into fast, maintainable user experiences with measurable business impact.

Multilingual: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French.

Product-minded engineering

I prioritize user and business outcomes, then design systems to support scale.
