Daniel Levin 🔗

I am a Sr. Software Development Engineer at Amazon Web Services (AWS), where I work on the EC2 control plane.

Before this, I ran an independent software consultancy for several years, focused on financial services and compliance.

My professional interests include:

• The social aspect of software engineering
  • Creating real value for other people
  • Writing code for others to read and understand
• Building effective organizations
• Unit economics of the technology business
• Compilers and language tools
• Verification of correctness
• Security (a special case of correctness)
• Distributed systems
• Virtualization
• Performance

I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to open source software, and the people who made it available to me. I would not have the career or skills I have today without open source.

The opinions expressed here are just that - opinions - and do not reflect the views of any of my employers, past or present.
