Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Jacobs is a seasoned engineering leader with over 30 years of professional programming experience and a decade-plus leading teams, currently serving as Sr. Director of Engineering for OLAP at Kinetica. He combines deep systems and performance expertise—C++ OLAP engines, SQL, and GPU-accelerated databases—with hands-on delivery of customer-facing JavaScript and Java tools used for demonstrations and internal testing. Andrew has a strong track record in federal and defense contracts, having implemented large-scale mail-tracking and GIS-integrated solutions for USPS and the US Army, and sped data ingestion by two orders of magnitude for a Navy system. He is equally comfortable writing production-quality code, designing requirements and specs, and coordinating cross-organizational stakeholders. Colleagues describe him as friendly, intellectually curious, and pragmatic: a leader who still dives into code and tests (often in Python) to ensure performant, reliable systems. Located in Washington, D.C., he blends research-era innovation from Microsoft Research with decades of enterprise and government software delivery.
