Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Giel is a Senior Software Engineer in Washington, D.C., with 11 years of experience building data-driven systems and production services at startups and scale-ups. He has strong hands-on background in machine learning and large-scale ETL—having built Hearsay Social’s first ML service and an Apache Spark-based data warehouse—and now applies that experience to core engineering at Discord. Comfortable across backend, data, and systems work, he blends practical ML modeling with production engineering to turn research into resilient services. A Stanford CS graduate and occasional mentor, he describes his GitHub presence as “just enough to be dangerous,” hinting at a pragmatic, impact-focused approach rather than chasing breadth for its own sake.
