Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndy Blum is a founder and CEO with 30+ years in IT who has architected large-scale data platforms and migrations for clients including Anthem, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Morgan Stanley and Cisco. He built early PC SQL solutions in 1991 and describes himself as a software engineer focused on data before "data engineer" was a title, later mentoring with Hadoop pioneers and leading big-data practices at Cognizant and Anthem. Andy combines hands-on engineering—Java, Scala, Spark, Snowflake, Kafka and HL7 FHIR transformations—with productizing those lessons into low/no-code tooling and a patent-pending Data Mesh/Data Fabric solution. He has a track record of translating legacy systems (mainframes, Teradata, PowerBuilder) into modern, metadata-driven pipelines that significantly cut cost and runtime. An active front-end contributor in notable open-source projects like IBM’s Carbon Design System, he also brings UI and accessibility expertise to complement his data work. Based in New York, he pairs deep technical breadth with entrepreneurial leadership and a knack for automating the tedious parts of data engineering.
