Summary
Andy Tang is a software developer in Seattle with eight years of professional experience building resilient web and mobile systems, currently contributing at Colgate-Palmolive after prior engineering roles in energy and disaster-relief tech. He brings a rare interdisciplinary background—degrees in chemistry, Latin, and musicology plus a software engineering certificate—which informs pragmatic, human-centered solutions like offline-first, decentralized messaging for disaster conditions. Andy’s career began in education and nonprofit arts, where he designed curricula, coordinated large community projects, and mentored students, and those skills translate into clear documentation, cross-functional collaboration, and product-minded engineering. Comfortable across full-stack JavaScript and Python toolchains, he focuses on reliable UX in constrained networks and operationally robust client-server architectures. Colleagues value his blend of deep technical problem solving with experience-running logistics and community programs, making him adept at building software that serves real people in challenging contexts.
