Summary
Andy Stoneberg is a Principal Engineer with over 18 years in IT who architects and operates large-scale cloud-native systems, currently leading the technical direction of a revenue-critical enterprise SaaS (100s of repos, 50+ Kubernetes containers, 25M daily API calls) at IBM. He progressed from a small product team coder to Product Architect overseeing 60+ developers and helped bring watsonx Assistant to market, contributing to five Conversational AI patents and winning two IBM Outstanding Technical Achievement Awards. Deeply hands-on across IBM Cloud and AWS, his toolset spans Kubernetes, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Prometheus, Vault, Elasticsearch, gRPC and more, enabling hybrid SaaS and on-prem deployments via IBM Cloud Pak for Data.

Based in Washington, D.C., and MBA-trained, Andy blends technical leadership with business acumen to scale complex distributed systems reliably.
