Top SchoolAndy Prock is a Principal Engineer based in Austin with 23+ years in software engineering and a track record of shipping production systems across mobile, cloud, and embedded domains. He has driven architecture and delivery at companies from Amazon—where he built EC2 capacity management systems—to Chewy, where he modernized search and launched a GraphQL service enabling server-side A/B testing and faster, targeted content. A hands-on mobile systems expert, he contributed cross-platform UDP/TCP support to React Native libraries, adding Android multicast support critical for IoT protocols like SSDP. Andy has repeatedly led cross-functional teams to productize complex infrastructure (from Peel’s cross-platform IoT framework to Cyanogen’s privacy-focused services) and bridges low-level device work with high-scale backend services. He combines deep systems thinking with practical engineering: shipping device drivers, embedded CNC control, media plugins, and large distributed services over his career. Colleagues rely on him to turn ambiguous technical problems into extensible, production-ready solutions.
