Summary
Andrew Serra is a Build and Release Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building reliable CI/CD pipelines, Linux services, and deploy automation across IoT and web stacks. Currently at ZKX Solutions and completing an MS in Computer Science at RIT, he blends practical release engineering with firmware- and edge-device experience gained at companies like Moog and Council Rock. He has a track record of speeding delivery—implementing Fastlane, optimizing Jenkins to cut clean build times by 30%, and automating packaging for manufacturing—and a knack for creating durable Linux services for constrained devices. Comfortable across Python, Bash, React Native, Flask, and embedded Linux, he pairs system-level thinking with user-facing tooling improvements. Uncommonly for someone focused on releases, he also supports academic integrity and curriculum quality as a course assistant, highlighting attention to detail and communication in technical contexts.
