Daniel Russell

Senior Software Engineering Manager

Building high-performing engineering teams through empathy, clarity, and strategic execution.

I believe that exceptional engineering leadership is rooted in servant leadership, technical empowerment, and a relentless focus on outcomes. As a Senior Software Engineering Manager, I align individual growth with organizational impact. I invest in career development, encourage ownership, and create psychological safety so that engineers can do the best work of their careers.

My leadership philosophy is guided by three pillars: clarity of purpose, continuous feedback, and scalable systems. I strive to communicate vision and context clearly, ensuring every team member understands how their work contributes to larger objectives. I foster a feedback-rich environment where learning is constant and mistakes are treated as opportunities.

I’ve led cross-functional teams through complexity and scale, balancing delivery excellence with technical innovation. I work closely with product, design, and executive partners to turn strategy into actionable roadmaps and to maintain a healthy, collaborative culture.

My mission is to build resilient teams that ship ambitious products—sustainably, inclusively, and with pride.
