Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Zafft is a Staff Software Engineer with 10+ years of backend and data engineering experience, now based in Massachusetts and focused on taking functional ownership of business services. He has built and operated large-scale analytics and event-driven systems across startups and enterprise environments, working with technologies from Rust and Spark to Kafka, HBase, and serverless AWS stacks. His background spans R&D, mainline development, and production support, including high-stakes assessment systems serving up to millions of students and real-time ingestion pipelines for operational analytics. Andrew blends hands-on coding with architecture, DevOps/ProdOps, and performance testing—often in small teams where he owned everything from design to deployment. Notably, he has led transitions to serverless architectures and implemented intrusion-detection and air-gapped mailbox systems, showing a pragmatic focus on reliability and security. He holds MS and BS degrees in Computer Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and routinely bridges the gap between research-minded solutions and production-ready operations.
