Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Darqui is a pragmatic software engineer with 13 years of experience who applies systems-thinking from backend development to integrated farm engineering in Florida. He has a strong track record of performance-focused backend work—contributing optimizations and observability improvements to the well-known NodeBB project—and has held senior "GodMode" engineering roles at Zeta Global and long-term engineering leadership at Apptness. Comfortable across DevOps, security operations, and production troubleshooting, he blends low-level Unix savvy with pragmatic cloud and Redis optimizations. Recently he’s translated that technical rigor into ecological systems design as a Farm Engineer, building adaptive solutions for propagation, invasive species suppression, and animal welfare. Known for a dry sense of humor and candid humility (his GitHub quip: "I have no idea what I am doing"), he pairs curiosity with relentless problem-solving. His uncommon background—BS in Exercise Science plus decades of hands-on coding—gives him a unique perspective on performance, resilience, and systems optimization.
