Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndy Skelton is a seasoned software engineer and inventor with 17 years of experience building products that span from web platforms to FDA-adjacent medical devices. Based in Montpelier, Vermont, he was among the earliest engineers at Automattic where he architected and shipped across the full WordPress.com stack, and later scaled engineering as CTO and VP at startups. He founded OrthoPress, inventing a medical device, pursuing patents, and taking a product to market on Amazon—demonstrating a rare blend of hands-on development, product design, and commercialization. Currently at Gravity Rail, he continues to apply systems-level thinking to complex software challenges. His background combines deep technical breadth (systems, devops, enterprise integrations) with entrepreneurial grit and an unusual early start running a consulting firm while in high school.
