Hi, I'm Daniel
Engineering Manager for Source Code Experience he/him · from Canada, originally from Québec · joined GitLab May 2026
A bit about me
- Basketball and synchronized swimming dad by night and weekends (yes, two very different kids)
- Sourdough baker — my starter is named A Tribe Called Yeast
- Foodie through and through — I'll try anything you put in front of me
- Casual gravel cyclist — I like being outside more than I like going fast
- Currently reading my way through The Expanse
- Big Dune and LotR fan — orcs and sandworms, don't make me choose
- Big into 90s hip hop and 2000s indie rock
- I wind down in nature or with a book — screens off, please
- I have a disability — it's part of my story
How I'm wired
- Quieter than I seem — I need real stillness to recharge
- I think before I talk, so I might be slow to respond, but I mean what I say
- I care a lot about kindness
- I'm slow to judge and quick to ask what's actually going on
- I like helping people figure things out
- I'm curious by nature, if I'm asking alot of questions, it's because I'm trying to learn
Working with me
- My feedback tends to be conversational — if something isn't clear, just ask
- Coffee chats are always welcome — just grab some time on my calendar
- Async by default — give me context and I'll give you a thoughtful response
- Flexible on meetings, just not early mornings
- I'm on Eastern Time, roughly 9–5, but will look at my phone from 7-7, outside of that available for urgent matters.
Our 1:1s
- This time is yours, not mine
- No status updates please — that's what async is for
- Wide open — vent, talk about something you're passionate about, think through your career, whatever you need
- Everything stays between us, and if I need to share it, I will let you know
More to come.
