Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndy Kitson is a software engineer and founder with 11 years of experience building and scaling remote-first teams and systems, currently contributing at Education Analytics from Madison, Wisconsin. He was an early engineer at Redox helping launch a modern healthcare API and later scaled their People function from 40 to 180 employees as Head of People, blending hands-on engineering with operational leadership. Andy founded Whaddya, a Slack app for async town halls, demonstrating his interest in tooling that preserves transparency for growing remote teams even when he chose to sunset the product. He co-hosts The People Everywhere Show, reflecting a curiosity about organizational dynamics and a knack for communicating complex team challenges. With a BA in Philosophy from the University of Chicago and a stint studying in Paris, he pairs analytical rigor with cross-cultural perspective. Colleagues would describe him as practical, people-focused, and quietly entrepreneurial — someone who builds useful systems and then intentionally steps back when priorities shift.
