Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Kalenda is a Senior Software Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with 11 years of experience translating ambiguous problems into reliable, customer-facing products across the full stack. Comfortable calling himself a “software plumber,” he owns whatever needs doing—from project leadership and architecture to hands-on Typescript front- and back-end implementation, performance tuning, and low-level C/C++ debugging. He has delivered high-impact work at companies like Cisco, Google (via Judge Group), and Walmart Global Tech, modernizing SPAs, refactoring core systems, and improving observability and UX for critical internal and customer products. A mentor and quality advocate, he champions code hygiene, testing, and documentation while onboarding teammates and resolving technical disputes. Unusually, his background spans data science and memory-level systems work—he’s sped Python algorithms by orders of magnitude and traced bugs down to native garbage-collector interactions—so he’s equally fluent in ML pipelines and pointer-level diagnostics.
