Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrea Thacker is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building backend systems, test infrastructure, and Android products across companies like Discord, Peloton, and Mixlab. She champions simplicity in design, preferring to start with the least complex solution and only add complexity when it's proven necessary to deliver value. Her background spans device-level Android work (including AOSP forks and updater systems), large-scale backend and database engineering, and test infrastructure—bridging product, reliability, and developer productivity. At Peloton she helped consolidate analytics across devices and improved testing architecture, and at Intersection she worked on city-scale IoT deployments for LinkNYC. Now contributing to Discord’s Nitro value team, she brings both hands-on implementation skills and a disciplined approach to architecture and code quality. Outside core engineering she has led hiring and developer training initiatives, reflecting a knack for growing teams and improving engineering practices.
