Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Rove is a Principal Software Engineer in Austin with 14 years of experience building production-grade systems that span API design, event-driven microservices, large-scale ETL, and ML-driven search. At GLG he co-led development of a BERT-based semantic vector service and a mission-critical event system for commission attribution, powering rerank recommendations and revenue discovery. He has a strong Rails and backend pedigree from earlier roles where he improved reliability, PCI compliance, and test coverage while modernizing platforms for concurrency and scale. Comfortable across stacks—Ruby, Java, TypeScript/React, Kafka—he also mentors engineers and designs APIs that make complex features easy for junior developers to extend. Outside of work he channels system-level curiosity into modding video games, a hobby that mirrors his pragmatic, reverse-engineering approach to problems.
