About

Hi, I’m Daniel Chen, a Senior Software Engineer passionate about turning AI research into real-world, scalable software. I specialize in building end-to-end cloud-native platforms, event-driven architectures, and AI-powered products using Node.js, React, Next.js, Prisma, and OpenAI LangChain. Based in Bristol, I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to ship production-grade systems that deliver measurable impact.
I mentor junior engineers, drive sprint planning, and champion robust CI/CD, testing, and security practices. In my spare time I explore AI tooling, cloud-native patterns, and multilingual systems to help organizations solve complex problems and create social value
