Andrew Hinton

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience building scalable backend systems and web applications, with strong expertise in Ruby and Ruby on Rails. I specialize in designing and developing complex platforms—especially billing, account management, and data-driven services—while solving performance, data consistency, and system reliability challenges. I focus on writing clean, maintainable, production-ready code and continuously improving engineering practices.

At ATPCO, I designed and built a subscription and billing platform with flexible pricing models, replacing a legacy system that couldn’t handle dynamic customer plans. I implemented idempotent billing workflows and transactional service layers to eliminate data inconsistency across billing cycles, and I built asynchronous processing pipelines using Sidekiq and Redis to decouple high-volume work from request/response flows. I also delivered robust webhook ingestion with retry and out-of-order event handling, refactored a monolith into modular domain-driven components, optimized financial reporting queries with PostgreSQL tuning, and supported reliable AWS-based deployments with CI/CD—while mentoring junior engineers through code reviews and design guidance.
