I’m Daniel Michalski, a Senior Software Engineer based in Warsaw, Poland, focused on AI/ML platforms and real-time inference. I design fault-tolerant Go services, event-driven data pipelines, and scalable model serving with strong SRE, security, and observability practices. My work spans experimentation through registry, online/offline features, shadow/canary deployments, and monitoring for drift. I have a track record of cutting latency, improving fraud precision, and turning ML prototypes into production systems. I enjoy turning ideas into reliable software, driving cross-team collaboration, and mentoring engineers to raise reliability and performance across the stack.

Work Experience

Senior Software Engineer at Coinbase
August 1, 2024 - November 13, 2025
Led a Go gateway around vLLM/Triton with online features (Feast + Redis) and sticky Kafka ingestion; achieved p99 latency reduction (-38%) and fraud precision improvement (+7.9%) behind a shadow/canary rollout. Built a model-aware risk service (gRPC gateway, gobreaker, token bucket) reducing chargeback losses by 11% QoQ with deterministic audit logs. Rolled out RAG for KYC/explanations and partner Q&A (Go control plane, Python inference, pgvector/OpenSearch) improving handoffs by 32% and answer accuracy by 18 percentage points. Governed protobuf schemas (buf) and fenced producers, reducing cross-AZ chatter by 35% and consumer lag by 80%. Instrumented observability with OpenTelemetry + Evidently + Datadog alerts-as-code, enabling automated rollback on AUC/FPR regression; MTTR reduced by 45% on trade-path incidents. Validated failure budgets via game-days/chaos to ensure backpressure and graceful degradation under bursty load. Hardened partner APIs for Advanced/Prime/NTX with per-tenant
Staff Software Engineer at GlobalLogic
June 1, 2024 - June 1, 2024
Launched an inference gateway (Go over Python: XGBoost/LightGBM→PyTorch) with real-time features via Kafka + Feast; achieved CTR +6.1% and conversions +4–6%. Upgraded search to hybrid (pgvector/OpenSearch + BM25) with NLP intents/NER and re-rankers; +14% success, 0-result −27%. Deployed an LLM chatbot with tool-calling/guardrails; ticket deflection ~28%, hallucinations <2% on evals. Standardized a Go service template (zap, Viper, health/ready) and CI/CD with blue/green + canary + auto-rollback; time-to-market −60%, p99 −35%, errors −40%, MTTR −30%. Coordinated CDC/ETL (Debezium, Airflow) and batch/stream (Spark/Flink, dbt, Delta) with OTEL traces FE ↔ BE ↔ ETL; freshness <15 min, downstream failures −30%. Fortified auth (OAuth/OIDC, mTLS) and supply-chain security (Trivy, SAST/DAST) with zero high-severity findings. Drafted RFCs for API versioning, schema evolution, and Kafka partitioning/compaction; pass rate >95% and reduced review defects ~30%. Mentored 5–7 eng
Software Engineer at Avra Software
February 1, 2020 - February 1, 2020
Built and maintained 25+ backend/integration services (Go) with event-driven workflows (Kafka/RabbitMQ), gRPC/REST, PostgreSQL/Redis; achieved 99.95% reliability with circuit breakers, idempotency, and blue-green deploys; cut p95 latency by ~45% via profiling, async I/O, and caching. Shipped full-stack features (React/Next.js, Angular, Vue) and a shared TS design system + API SDKs, reducing duplicate work by ~40% and trimming client round-trips by ~60%. Migrated ML from batch to near real-time with Python ETL + MLflow and Kafka features; delivered OCR/NLP POCs reducing manual reviews by ~40%. Ran platform & reliability for 3 Kubernetes clusters and 100+ CI/CD pipelines (Argo CD); improved MTTR and reduced costs via autoscaling and optimized storage. Strengthened observability (Prometheus/Grafana/OpenTelemetry) and incident playbooks, halving on-call time.
Intern Software Engineer at Google
May 1, 2014 - May 1, 2014
Shipped caching and gRPC batching on a Kubernetes service; learned Kubernetes, tracing, and clean PR practices; owned feature end-to-end and contributed to latency improvements.
Intern Software Engineer at Amazon
December 1, 2013 - December 1, 2013
Built an AWS Lambda/SQS/DynamoDB event pipeline with idempotency and dashboards; gained experience in event-driven design and AWS operations; collaborated across teams to reduce errors.
