Summary
Andrew Smith is a Software Engineer III based in Portland, Oregon, with a decade of hands-on experience building robust, high-performance systems across defense, enterprise, and backup software domains. He excels at architecting modular, security-conscious platforms—having led core development and an operational CSOC/IDS demoed at BlackHat—while staying close to bleeding-edge research in AI and robotics. Known for turning tinkering into production-grade solutions, Andrew thrives on novel problems and rapid learning, whether refactoring legacy Java stacks or prototyping data-driven components. Now at Veeam after a long tenure as a principal engineer at Parsons, he blends systems-level rigor with a researcher’s curiosity and a knack for pragmatic, testable designs.
