Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Guenther is a seasoned cloud and reliability engineer with 13 years building production services from first principles, currently focusing on Reliability at OpenAI. He has deep expertise in containerized and serverless architectures from pivotal roles at AWS—where he helped ship the first containerized service and earned a patent used across Lambda and Fargate—and later led cloud-native data pipelines and APIs at Orbital Sidekick. Comfortable both leading teams and shipping hands-on infrastructure, he also contributes practical DevOps tooling (e.g., an automated, HA-capable NAT AMI with CDK-backed testing). Based in San Francisco, he pairs a strong MS in Computer Science with a penchant for fieldcraft: when not improving reliability, he’s likely in the woods, brewing beer, or building furniture.
