Daniel Earl Email & Phone Number

Daniel Earl is a Director of Information Technology at Kodai Capital Management, L.P. at Kodai Capital Management, L.P.. Colleagues describe him as "Daniel was part of a Asset Backed Finance desk specializing in mortgages and mortgage products trading. It was during the 2007 through 2009 mortgage crisis that Daniel was able to learn the worst and best about working on a desk in this business. We were challenged directly by one of the richest men in the country to effectively replace our models in a week--which we did. We developed non stop for Ken Griffin, including all the integration points to the new model as well as all the user interfaces, datasources and middleware components. It was an extraordinary time to be in software and quantitative research and I greatly appreciated having him on our team. His personality, his skillsets, and his desire to achieve an incredibly challenging goal added to our ability to be successful.", "It was a pleasure working with Daniel on the SPG IT Team at Citadel Investment Group. Daniel filled a junior position on our team but his intelligence, dedication and inter-personal skills were superior to many seasoned developers that I have worked with over the past 15 years. Daniel has a great work attitude and delivered excellent results with minimal guidance on both individual and team projects. He was recognized as a hard working and motivated self-starter who was equally precise and thorough on both routine and highly complex tasks. He showed great skill and judgement in handling a highly dynamic and unpredictable work load. Along with his superior technical skills, Daniel is an excellent communicator. He showed great poise and confidence in discussions with other developers, traders and the most senior trading desk personnel. I highly recommend him as an excellent addition to any organization that requires a hard working, affable and intelligent team member.", and "I first met Daniel when he was an undergraduate student in a Data Processing class that I was teaching for the University of Michigan's Industrial and Operations Engineering Department. Based on his outstanding performance in the class, I hired Daniel as a grader for the class. His exceptional technical skills and work ethic greatly impressed me, and I managed to persuade the department to promote Daniel to be my graduate student assistant when he began his master's studies. (This is usually a position reserved for Ph.D. students.) Of the many graduate student assistants with which I have worked, Daniel was among the most impressive, almost a co-instructor. He constantly strove to improve the class and was much appreciated by students for his caring, outgoing personality, and far above-and-beyond-the-call-of-duty efforts to ensure that they understood complicated concepts. Based on Daniel's exceptional performance, I suggested he apply for an internship at General Motors R&D, which he was subsequently awarded. Unfortunately, due to corporate policies, I am not allowed to comment on the performance of current or former GM employees while I remain a GM employee, so I must limit my recommendation of Daniel to our work together at the University of Michigan."
