Daniel Krizak — Appian Solution Consultant

// 01 — About

Appian specialist
with an engineering mind.

I'm a Appian Solution Consultant with a strong background in designing, developing, and deploying enterprise-scale applications. My work spans the full delivery lifecycle — from architecture and integration design through to deployment, incident resolution, and team leadership.

My foundation in Chemical Engineering gives me a sharp analytical edge. I approach complex systems with the same rigor I'd apply to any engineering problem: decompose, optimize, document, and iterate.

Outside of Appian, I'm comfortable working across the stack — from SQL and backend integrations to frontend interfaces and automation tooling. I've leveraged local LLMs to build internal dev tools and automated SQL validation pipelines while maintaining strict data privacy standards.
