Daniel Tunkelang’s Summary

I am a passionate, goal-driven technology leader with the fortune of a world-class education (MIT undergrad, CMU PhD) and 10+ years of industry experience building large-scale solutions for search and information retrieval. My roles have ranged from research scientist to software engineer to technology strategist. I am an effective, efficient problem solver for algorithmic, scale / performance, and usability challenges, as well as a successful team leader and mentor. I am a strong writer and presenter, credible to both technical and business audiences. I'm stimulated by challenge of hard intellectual problems, and driven by the thrill of building solutions that create value for others.
