Andrei Pshenkin is a Director of Engineering based in London with a decade of hands-on experience building and leading teams across backend languages (Scala, Java, Go, Node.js) and cloud automation (Terraform, Ansible, AWS). He progressed from test specialist roles into QA leadership and eventually blockchain and engineering director positions, blending deep quality engineering instincts with systems architecture and delivery ownership. At Copper.co he led blockchain architecture efforts and continued into executive engineering leadership, and now drives engineering strategy at Bron. An active open-source contributor, he has improved test automation in the widely used CodeceptJS project, adding features like data-driven testing and broader helper integrations. Known for translating QA rigor into resilient production systems, he pairs pragmatic engineering with an operator’s attention to reliability. His background in avionics-related studies and formal computer science gives him a disciplined systems mindset that surfaces in his infrastructure-first approach.
