Summary
Andrew Draper is a Staff Engineer at Rubrik with a two-decade breadth of experience spanning software engineering, cloud architecture, DevOps, and enterprise storage, now focused on building AI-driven cyber resilience and “Data Security as Code.” He designs and implements scalable Go microservices, protobuf APIs, Terraform providers, and React UIs that integrate Rubrik with leading security platforms like CrowdStrike and Zscaler to automate detection and response. Comfortable moving between customer-facing roles and core product engineering, he has driven prototypes into production (including patented quarantine logic and an M365 integration that led to a Microsoft partnership) and improves developer experience through SDKs and clean reusable Go code. His background supporting mission-critical defence and enterprise AD estates gives him a rare operational perspective on resilience and capacity at extreme scale. Based in Cramlington, UK, he pairs hands-on implementation with presales and solution design instincts to translate complex customer needs into practical, auditable automation.
