Top SchoolAndrew Katsikas is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building reliable, scalable backend systems and test automation, currently based in Needham, Massachusetts. He has driven platform and player-backend improvements at Vimeo—authoring Go and PHP services for captioning, GDPR-compliant async processors, and event-driven flows that touch millions of videos and users. At Vimeo he also led test infrastructure migrations (BrowserStack to auto-scaling Jenkins/GitHub Actions) that cut costs and sped up execution, and created widely reused testing frameworks and tools like WebStream and a Golang “Differ.” His background blends hands-on engineering, QA leadership, and technical writing—skills he honed across media and SaaS firms and in roles from QA analyst to principal SDET. Andrew’s work emphasizes observable, automated systems and pragmatic tooling that improve reliability and team velocity. He maintains a personal engineering site (katsikas-dev.newhellstudios.com) that reflects his cross-disciplinary focus.
