Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Crosby is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building and operating backend systems, currently based in Baltimore. He combines hands-on Python/Django backend work, DevOps automation, and CI/CD improvements from his tenure at Ansible/Red Hat—where he led efforts to host and validate community content and contributed to widely used projects like ansible-lint and Ansible Galaxy. Known for improving linting, testing infrastructure, and import pipelines, he brings practical expertise in sandboxed validation, API design, and deployment troubleshooting. His career spans product ownership and systems administration in healthcare IT to consulting and freelance development, giving him strong cross-functional communication and operational discipline. He’s equally comfortable refactoring legacy systems as he is introducing automated quality checks, and he tends to codify processes into tooling that prevents recurring problems.
