Daniel Jacobson is a Executive Committee Member - Maryland Chapter at Sierra Club. He possess expertise in digital media, media and entertainment, high availability, system architecture, apis and 18 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Dan is a very successful technical manager. His team rallies behind his direction and guidance. He is a great recruiter who has an eye for sharp talent and, just as important, nice people. Being a technical-savvy leader, Dan understood the need to focus on the Netflix Discovery API platform first and foremost. This paved the way for a few key Netflix Open Source offerings including Hystrix, Turbine, and RxJava. These components have spread throughout the entire Netflix organization - as well as many startups and enterprises throughout the world - and have greatly improved availability, reliability, and overall uptime of the Netflix service. From a personality standpoint, Dan is very approachable and funny. I find his speaking engagements very interesting and effective. Additionally, I really enjoy his LinkedIn posts. He's one person I will never hide from my feed! :)" and "I am convinced that Daniel Jacobson is from the future. He knows how people will want to interact with their media long before anyone else does, and by the time the product team has caught up with him, he's already built the infrastructure. Daniel also sees problems before they arise, which makes it much easier to focus on the 'strategy' side of IT strategy. At NPR, Daniel was the mastermind of our Application Programming Interface, without which we could not have built any of our mobile applications, and he had it live a full year before we launched our first app. Daniel has also left a lasting legacy at NPR: because of him, when we need to make changes to our apps, development is never the bottleneck. In fact, I can sometimes reprogram our apps without consulting a single developer, by simply changing the query to pull different content. I wish I could see the future as clearly as Daniel. Heck, I'd be happy just to get a ride in his DeLorean."
