Summary
Andrew Hard is a software engineer with 11 years of technical experience, currently pursuing a Master's in Computer Science at Georgia Tech and contributing to Google's cloud infrastructure where he led a service to streamline VM creation and isolate risky experiments. He brings a strong systems and networking foundation—covering multithreading, RPCs, virtualization, BGP, SDN, and CDNs—complemented by practical skills in C/C++, Java, Python, SQL, and Linux. Earlier roles include integrating hardware telemetry for neural-network pipelines at NVIDIA and leading multi-billion-dollar structural engineering projects, demonstrating rare cross-domain rigor in both software and civil engineering. At Google he centralized business logic and de-risked deployments through sharding, earning recognition from tech leads and directors for improving maintainability and resilience. Based in Seattle, he combines academic depth from UCLA/UCSD and ongoing Georgia Tech work with hands-on product delivery at scale. A Physics PhD background reflected on his GitHub hints at strong analytical instincts that inform his data-driven engineering decisions.
