Christopher Dana Email & Phone Number

With a passion for engineering excellence and polished products, I thrive on developing high-quality software as well as developing tools that streamline the engineering process, ensuring efficiency and robustness. I strive to create software with enduring value, avoiding shortcuts, kludges, and hacks, no matter how tempting they might be in a moment of time pressure. I love automating manual and repetitive tasks, freeing up bandwidth to solve larger challenges.Improving something implicitly involves measuring it, and to that end, I focus on quantifying things whenever possible. Not only does this yield objective results, but it can also yield surprises about where inefficiencies truly lie. My experience spans software development (APIs and SDKs), firmware development, QA (software and consumer electronics), and DevOps, enabling me to understand and optimize the entire software ecosystem.Core competencies include:✔ Software Development✔ Firmware Development✔ Embedded Systems✔ Test Automation✔ DevOps✔ Quality AssuranceAvailable to discuss new opportunities in the SF Bay Area or virtual (remote) elsewhere.
