Top SchoolAndrew Hewitson is a Senior Engineer based in Stockholm with 12 years of hands-on experience building embedded systems, network security software, and game development tools. He has moved between security-focused C/C++ work and large-scale game engineering at studios like Mojang and Dambuster, contributing to widely used launchers and shipping cross-platform auto-update features. At Clavister and Spotify he’s combined low-level protocol and infrastructure improvements with higher-level product delivery, often taking features from requirements through release and founding a continuous improvement effort. Comfortable switching hats—from QA and tooling to senior C++ development—he brings pragmatic problem-solving and a track record of coordinating complex, cross-team rollouts. An avid learner, he pairs deep systems knowledge with a history of improving developer workflows and release processes.
