Hi, I'm Daniel Tucker. I'm a software engineer living in Colorado.
Now
San Jose, CA
Senior Staff Software Engineer in BILL's Product, Network & AI organization, focused on developer experience and backend architecture. I design and build internal developer platforms—standardized local and cloud environments, opinionated tooling, and automation—that make it fast and reliable for engineers to spin up services, ship code, and debug production-like issues. Recently I've been integrating AI-assisted workflows into this stack so that agents can safely introspect, diagnose, and repair development environments, shifting repetitive troubleshooting from humans to automation and shortening feedback loops. Beyond hands-on engineering, I act as an architecture partner and mentor across teams, helping set standards for database migrations, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure so our platform scales with the business.
Staff Software Engineer in BILL's Product, Network & AI organization, focused on backend architecture and developer experience. I implemented and evolved core Elixir services and shared libraries, strengthened patterns for database migrations and CI/CD, and helped teams adopt safer, more standardized ways to ship changes. I built and maintained internal tooling and local development workflows that reduced environment setup friction and production risk, and I regularly partnered with product squads as a reviewer and mentor on performance, data integrity, and cloud infrastructure decisions.
