Andy Dam is a Staff Software Engineer based in San Francisco with eight years of experience building and leading engineering teams across startup and compliance-focused SaaS companies. He progressed from hands-on software engineer to engineering manager and now staff engineer, bringing a product-minded approach from roles at Notable, Hyperproof, and currently Rula. His background includes project management and operational experience from ENCORED and technical service in the Army and Air National Guard, which gives him a disciplined, security-conscious perspective on engineering decisions. Andy excels at shipping reliable systems in regulated domains, translating complex requirements into auditable, maintainable solutions. Colleagues rely on him to bridge technical strategy and execution, mentor teams through growth, and keep delivery aligned with business and compliance needs. Outside core engineering, his nontraditional path from history degrees and military service contributes a pragmatic, systems-thinking approach that helps teams navigate ambiguity.
