Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Evans is a Senior Backend Engineer with 16 years of hands-on experience building, securing, and operating full-stack web platforms for startups and scale-ups. Currently at GitLab, he brings deep expertise across AWS, Docker, Ruby, Node, React, SQL, and observability tools to ship reliable, production-grade systems. His background blends software engineering, DevOps, SRE, and security—having run threat assessments, incident response, and compliance work at Mapbox and Trusted Health. He’s comfortable from UX to infra: architecting features, tuning databases, automating CI/CD, and hardening systems against real-world attacks. A former founder and long-time “thing-doer,” he pairs product instincts with pragmatic engineering to move ambiguous projects to operable, maintainable solutions. Based in California, he’s equally at home debugging a tricky production issue or evangelizing security best practices across teams.
