Top SchoolAndrew Hyder is a software engineer with 14 years building civic tech that modernizes the social safety net, from GetCalFresh (helping over a million Californians apply for food assistance) to streamlined SNAP, Medicaid, and WIC projects across multiple states. He specializes in full-stack web applications and data-driven government integrations, with hands-on experience at Code for America and 18F and early work in Django/PostGIS systems. Andrew combines technical delivery with community building—he led developer relations efforts that grew Code for America’s volunteer movement into a global civic tech network. Based in Sacramento, he brings a planner’s sensibility (background in urban planning) to product design, focusing on pragmatic, equity-oriented solutions that reduce friction for vulnerable populations.
