Summary
Andrew Waldron is a Principal Software Engineer with 12+ years building data-centric, event-driven systems and customer-facing products across AWS and GCP. He combines deep C/C++/Java roots with modern stacks—Kotlin, Spring, Kafka/PubSub, BigQuery/Redshift and React/Angular—to deliver reliable, production-grade services and full‑stack experiences. At Upstart he’s played a key role launching and growing a HELOC product, while earlier leadership at Cardinal Health involved rearchitecting large healthcare data pipelines and secure PHI workflows. He blends hands-on coding with team-building and platform thinking, having started guilds, shaped engineering patterns, and matured teams in remote-first settings. A recent entrepreneurial sabbatical building The Savvy Egg sharpened his product instincts and hands-on AWS skills, giving him rare insight into both founding-level product discovery and enterprise-scale engineering.
