Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Wang is a founder and software engineer based in New York who builds ambitious infrastructure and AR experiences, most notably the Ur AR Metaverse (urth.earth). With six years of hands-on experience, he blends backend Django expertise—contributing to well-known projects like redis-py and multiple Django ecosystem libraries—with systems design for globally distributed networks. He’s advised and shipped features for companies including Redis, Axios, and AWS, and has served as CTO and team lead for startups accelerating through product discovery and integration work. Comfortable toggling between code, CI/CD, and architecture, he has modernized projects by adding Django 4.0 support, GitHub Actions, and production-ready deployment pipelines. Colleagues describe him as creatively sarcastic, and his side projects like ArgueBot reveal a taste for playful, evidence-driven experiments that test the boundaries of realistic-sounding absurdity. He combines entrepreneurial curiosity with pragmatic engineering, often taking on consulting-style engagements because he enjoys solving tricky tech-stack problems.
