Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Aarestad is an AI/ML-focused Full Stack Developer and founder with over a decade of experience building production-grade systems that combine machine learning, signal processing, and full-stack engineering. He has led AI-driven product development from embedded sensor firmware and Kalman-filtered state estimation for IoT at FLUID to large-scale eCommerce personalization and sale-event systems at Best Buy that moved billions in revenue. As co-founder of Hypercolor Digital he shipped generative AI features, RAG chatbots, synthetic voice, and an open-sourced parameter-estimation framework, while driving GitOps and IaC practices across teams. Comfortable both in low-level C++/DSP work and modern cloud-native stacks, he repeatedly bridges research-grade algorithms with user-facing, scalable products. He’s pragmatic about observability and performance—instrumenting UX with SpeedCurve and Sentry and designing caching strategies for peak traffic—and enjoys turning complex signal and telemetry problems into reliable, ship-ready solutions. Based in Minneapolis, he pairs entrepreneurial leadership with hands-on engineering across embedded, backend, and front-end domains.
