Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndy Harris is a seasoned technology leader with 13+ years in senior engineering and executive roles, currently focused on automating film, theatre and exhibition props through real-time, narrative-driven simulation and pub/sub websocket architectures. As CTO of Automated Film Props and formerly Osirium’s CTO/CPO, he blends deep systems, hardware design and product thinking to deliver secure, rules-driven automation and industrial-scale control systems. His background spans embedded hardware, VAX-era systems, secure privilege management, and inventive product engineering—from MIMEsweeper-era innovations to patented enterprise PxM features. He’s comfortable shifting between hands-on engineering, marketing analytics and sprint-level delivery, often translating complex technical concepts into usable products. Based in Thatcham, UK, Andy combines maker instincts with executive strategy to bridge creative production and industrial control. An unusual strength: he designs for stories as much as systems, treating props as networked actors in a larger narrative simulation.
