Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Pollack-gray is a software engineer with seven years' experience building reliable cloud infrastructure, developer tooling, and CI/CD platforms for companies from Google to Skydio and Anyscale. He specializes in reversible-change automation, scalable build systems (Bazel), and AI-driven developer workflows that reduce toil and increase engineer velocity—evidenced by a 95% drop in CI outages and successful rollout of an agentic IDE to 150+ engineers. At Google he helped shape Fuchsia's delivery story and led the Fuchsia Rust Working Group; his open-source contributions include internationalization improvements to icu4x and automation tooling for the Rust community site. Comfortable leading cross-functional initiatives, he breaks complex programs into iterative milestones, mentors engineers, and pairs production-focused engineering with pragmatic cost and security controls. Based in California with a BS in CS from Stanford, he blends systems-level rigor with a knack for developer experience that surfaces in both tooling and measurable operational win rates.
