Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Espira is a founding engineer and SRE-focused platform builder with nine years of experience designing cloud-native, cost-efficient infrastructure that powers mission-critical applications. He’s led end-to-end platform evolution—from prototype to HIPAA-compliant, multi-tenant production—delivering 99.9%+ uptime, dramatic latency reductions, and 15–50% cloud cost savings through rightsizing, caching, and intelligent batching. Comfortable across AWS and GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, Python and Go, Andrew combines hands-on performance engineering with observability-first practices (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Jaeger) to halve MTTR and turn firefighting into predictable operations. He’s repeatedly scaled systems for thousands to millions of users, built GPU-accelerated ML pipelines, and optimized BigQuery and streaming workloads for real-time teams. Notably, he pairs research experience in HPC and genomics with startup grit—authoring onboarding docs, shared libraries, and automation that cut ramp time and release cycles substantially. Based in New York, he’s currently exploring eBPF observability, GPU computing, and sustainable cloud architectures.
