Top SchoolAndrew Smith is a versatile full-stack engineer with 17 years of hands-on experience and over a decade delivering medium to large-scale projects across finance, healthcare, wellness, and fitness. He blends backend PHP expertise (Slim, Bolt) with modern frontend frameworks like Svelte and Vue, and has a proven track record improving performance and shipping production-ready features. At Supabase he contributed to developer experience—auth helpers, docs, and framework integrations—helping migrate examples and add SvelteKit support for a widely used open-source Firebase alternative. Comfortable across serverless, Postgres, and client-side architectures, he’s also increased app performance metrics substantially in past roles (e.g., indexedDB middle layer, Lighthouse boosts). An active open-source contributor, Andrew often bridges documentation, examples and real-world code, making complex auth flows and migrations easier for other developers. Based in Enfield, UK, he pairs pragmatic engineering with collaborative community-driven improvements.
