Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Teesdale is a founding engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building reliable software and operational systems, currently making AI accessible to local churches through Pastors AI. He blends full‑stack development and practical security work—ranging from hardening IoT thermostats to maintaining critical institutional software—with a habit of fixing problems people only notice when they break. His background spans quality control and operations coordination in manufacturing, giving him a pragmatic systems mindset that helps bridge gaps between intent and execution. Educated in computing and theology, he brings a rare mix of technical depth and mission-driven perspective, plus a willingness to take unconventional sabbaticals (yes, he went to Japan) that fuel creative problem solving.
