Andy Daniel is a Silicon Architect in the Compression group at Meta Reality Labs at Meta Reality Labs. He is proficient in French. Colleagues describe him as "Andy's team was to deliver engineering descriptions for TechPubs regarding the graphics accelerator which Andy designed. Unlike many engineering resources, Andy remained friendly and never displayed any resentment about providing TechPubs with the access we needed. Andy gave interviews as well as direct email contact. His amazing subject matter expertise was matched by his team-play and personal demeanor. Alone among all my engineering colleagues in the valley, Andy respected people from other departments with the same professional respect he accorded his own team. I'd work with Andy again with no hesitations.", "Andy is a very innovative thinker and problem solver and was a great asset to our team at Alliance. His knowledge of graphics hardware and architecture is very impressive and very valuable to a graphics team.", and "Andy is a creative genius in every aspect of his career. I remember him working on a very complex simulation that took several hours to run. The project was very time critical meaning that we had to work literally around the clock. Andy figured out a way to have his pager ring him when the simulation was completed enabling him to work on other simultaneous projects while the simulation was running. Andy had advanced skills in systems engineering particularly video systems. Andy is also very personable and a great team player. If I had the opportunity to hire Andy, I would do it in a heartbeat."
