Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Gleeson is a seasoned full-stack Software Engineer with 11 years of experience, currently at Google as an L4, focused on building large-scale, user-centered products that leverage LLMs and AI to improve workflows, search quality, and data understanding. His background spans backend systems work at Wikia—where he improved discussion logging and search queries in a high-profile repo—through quantum engineering stints at Rigetti and a CS+Physics education from UC Berkeley. Comfortable across the stack, he combines production-grade backend improvements with applied ML/AI experimentation to deliver measurable product gains. Based in Portland, he brings a research-minded curiosity (shaped by physics training and quantum internships) to pragmatic engineering trade-offs in production systems.
