Andrew Laws is a Senior Software Engineer with over 18 years of multidisciplinary experience delivering simulation, training, and high-traffic distributed systems across desktop, web and embedded environments. He has deep hands-on expertise in C++, Java, Python and modern JavaScript, and a track record building cross-platform, distributed simulation solutions (DIS/HLA/CORBA) and robotics/validation frameworks for autonomous vehicles. Comfortable in both product and consultancy roles, he has led small teams, run on-site deployments and provided technical account management for international customers, including years working in Japan. Known as a fast learner with a pragmatic, can-do approach, he often turns initial exploration into durable tooling and customer-facing value.
