Summary
🤩
RockstarAndy Smith is a seasoned software leader with 22 years of experience in cloud, infrastructure, and developer tooling, currently working at Astra. He has a rare mix of founding and executive experience—co-founding OpenStack and later serving as CTO at Wercker—paired with hands-on architect roles at Oracle and product-focused engineering at Google and several startups. Based in San Francisco, he’s repeatedly built and guided teams that ship cloud-native platforms and CI/CD tooling, with a career threaded by early contributions to open-source cloud projects. Known by the handle "Termie," he blends creative systems thinking (notably leading design-minded roles like Creative Director at Nebula) with deep operational knowledge, making him equally comfortable sketching product direction or debugging distributed systems.
