Summary
Andor Polgár is a Principal Software Engineer with 12 years’ experience building high-traffic, low-latency web and streaming platforms and leading AI integration initiatives across multi-brand digital holdings. Based in Amsterdam, he has deep expertise in frontend and backend systems—pioneering browser-based real-time video solutions, microfrontend architectures, and performance-tuned Node.js services for on-premise, zero-downtime deployments. Andor combines hands-on engineering with people leadership: hiring and interviewing, creating internal AI evaluation frameworks, and running workshops and training to embed LLMs into developer workflows. He has a track record of modernizing teams (TypeScript, CI/CD, testing, monorepos) and pragmatic experimentation with novel media delivery techniques on constrained devices. Unusually for a principal engineer, he also formalized candidate-friendly interview practices that let applicants use AI tools live, reflecting a forward-looking, tool-first approach to hiring and problem solving.
