# Danial Hussain > Senior SWE @Capital One | Ex-Meta Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/danial With six years of industry experience, I am a senior software engineer who is passionate about developing technology solutions to empower populations technology often skips over. I've worked at startups and big tech alike, such as at TruckSmarter, a startup that connects shippers and carriers through a digital platform that simplifies and streamlines the transportation process. At Meta, I was a product generalist where I wrote code across web and mobile platforms for the Acquisition and Identification teams in the Core Growth Organization. I also mentored new engineers, drove team culture, and collaborated with cross-country colleagues. In addition, I have a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Virginia, where I studied design thinking, app development, machine learning, and physics. I am inspired by John Q. Adams' quote: "I must study politics and war, that my sons may study mathematics and philosophy…in order to give their children the right to study painting, poetry, music and architecture.” ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Capital One Jan 2024 – Present Worked to architect and implement an internal performance review platform (PATH), including multiple databases, a backend layer with four microservice APIs, and six different frontend React apps.
