Summary
Andrew Woosnam is a systems engineer with eight years of experience building cloud-native developer tooling and sustainable infrastructure, currently at Cloudflare after impactful roles at VMware and Pivotal. He combines low-level systems curiosity—rooted in a transition from biology to computer science—with practical full-stack skills in Python, JavaScript, Java, C, and embedded platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. At VMware he led initiatives that dramatically reduced Spring Boot memory use and startup times, and helped the company join the Green Software Foundation while organizing large sustainable-software workshops. He has shipped IDE-integrated .NET developer experiences, performance-critical backend algorithms, and Typescript front-ends that saved developer time, showing a consistent focus on developer productivity and operational efficiency. Based in New Haven, he’s equally drawn to low-impact living and hands-on projects like apartment gardening, a detail that reflects his broader interest in sustainability beyond code. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic engineer who moves systems-level ideas into measurable results.
