Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Kirkpatrick is a Senior Staff Engineer with 11+ years building and leading engineering teams across adtech, marketplaces, and high-growth startups in Toronto and London. He combines deep full-stack expertise—Python, PHP, modern JavaScript frameworks, search, databases, containerization, and cloud infrastructure—with hands-on experience in provisioning, observability, and CI/CD to ship resilient systems at scale. His career spans senior technical and leadership roles at StackAdapt, PartnerStack, Instacart and Awin, delivering platforms from performance marketing to cashback and e-commerce. Comfortable moving between code and ops, he’s as likely to prototype a Flask service as to design Terraform-driven infrastructure and Vault-backed secrets management. Known on GitHub as a “web development cowboy,” he brings pragmatic problem-solving and a taste for surviving complex, legacy-to-cloud migrations. His background in both agency and in-house engineering gives him a rare perspective on product-focused delivery under tight commercial constraints.
