Daniel Gerst
Hello! 👋
I’m an Associate DevOps Engineer at Tealium and a UC Santa Cruz graduate with a drive for building flexible infrastructure that can respond under pressure. My background at Cisco and Orbee grounded me in backend development and security, and lately, I’ve been focused on leveraging AI-enabled automations to fix problems as they happen, if not before.
Beyond Coding
Outside of work, you'll find me training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, screen printing t-shirts, or thrifting
at vintage stores and flea markets.
What I Do
I specialize in full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, and automation. My experience ranges
from enterprise-scale systems at Cisco to startup environments at Orbee, giving me a unique
perspective on software engineering across different contexts.
