Top SchoolAndrew Harden is a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building Java web applications, cloud-native systems, and embedded firmware across defense and commercial domains. He blends backend expertise—REST services, SQL/graph/DynamoDB, and PKI systems—with hands-on AWS and Terraform infrastructure work, and has driven cost and monitoring improvements using OpenSearch/OpenTelemetry. Andrew has shifted between cloud infrastructure and low-level firmware (C/C++ and Rust), integrating embedded EtherCAT stacks with over-the-air updates and cloud data pipelines. He is comfortable across the full stack, including AngularJS UIs, CI/CD automation, and buildroot/CMake-based toolchains. Based in State College, PA, he brings a practical, systems-minded approach informed by reverse-engineering and hobbyist game-mod projects on vintage consoles. Notably, his background includes migrating HSM-backed PKI systems and creatively solving interoperability challenges between legacy and modern crypto platforms.
