Danil Temnikov
Texas, United States
Lead Software Engineer
Danil Temnikov is a Lead Backend Engineer with deep expertise in Java, Spring Framework, and AWS, specializing in designing cloud-native systems, automating data workflows, and driving production impact through architecture and ownership. Currently he is working as Lead Software Engineer, he has led multi-cloud platform initiatives, near-instant approval systems, and secure data access services while mentoring engineering teams and contributing as an active speaker on AI, cloud, and engineering practice.
At his current company, Danil delivered transformative business impact through innovative engineering solutions. In 2024, he designed and implemented the Data Access Control Management (DACM) system for a major American multinational financial software company, reducing average data access request processing time by 65%—from 15-20 days to just 2-3 days—while ensuring security and compliance. This system enabled convenient access requests to Kafka topics and data lakes, earning exceptional stakeholder feedback. In 2023, he led a pilot project integrating the customer's Batch Processing Platform with GCP BigQuery, spanning pre-sales through implementation, resulting in customer exploration of migrating existing data pipelines to GCP BigQuery.
His mentorship excellence is demonstrated through guiding three middle and junior developers to successful promotions via regular one-on-one sessions, project feedback, mock assessments, and leadership presentation support. His industry recognition includes being a CORE member on DZone.com for most active contributors regarded as authoritative experts. His eight published DZone articles garnered over 55,000 views, demonstrating ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively.
His thought leadership extends through active speaking engagements including Orlando Code Camp 2025 and hosting the "Exploring Generative AI in AWS" meetup. At ACM Austin, he presented "Search Smarter: Using S3 Vectors for Lightning-Fast Semantic Retrieval" to 50+ attendees, exploring vector search as core capability in the RAG ecosystem on AWS. His recent fellowship with Hackathon Raptors reflects commitment to impactful challenges, scientific rigor, and top-tier engineering.
