@andyandy
I am a senior software engineer specializing in backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and real-time data pipelines.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior software engineer with a focus on building scalable backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and real-time data pipelines. I specialize in designing resilient microservices and observability to support high-traffic, globally distributed products.
At Stripe I built risk and compliance services that reduced false positives by 25% and led migrations to a microservice architecture, while designing regulatory reporting with AWS Lambda. At Riot I developed live data pipelines and an Esports Command Center that increased tournament data reliability by 50%.
Earlier, I shipped cross-platform desktop and mobile features at Asana and Uber—ranging from Electron desktop apps to contactless delivery flows used by millions—while mentoring engineers and improving deployment and monitoring workflows. I aim to join teams focused on high-impact technical challenges and strong engineering practices.
