Summary
Andrew Cassell is a Principal Software Engineer with 14+ years building production web applications, currently leading engineering at Curiosity Inc. He blends software architecture, server-side expertise (PHP, Node, Ruby), and modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Ember, Vue) to deliver polished UX-driven products. A published author, frequent conference speaker, and organizer of the DCPHP meetup, he pairs public-facing advocacy with hands-on delivery. His background spans building critical operational systems—such as oil-spill response and asset management tools—and designing interactive embedded dashboards that helped Penn State win a Solar Decathlon communications prize. Based in Meadville, PA, he also brings design sensibility from years as a graphic designer, making him equally comfortable sketching logos or shaping APIs. Outside engineering he’s managed complex community operations as HOA president, demonstrating practical fiscal and organizational leadership.
