Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndy Weiss is a Software Engineering Manager in Massachusetts with 13 years of experience leading full-stack and backend teams across startups and enterprises. He has hands-on roots in Ruby on Rails, Elixir/Phoenix, React, and systems work—shipping and maintaining libraries like rollbar.js and rollbar-gem and contributing a Rust lint to clippy that catches await-held-lock deadlocks. At Nuro Retention he led a data-driven SaaS product integrating PostgreSQL, Neo4j, Redis, Sidekiq, WebSockets and front-end tooling, and he now applies that operational focus to engineering leadership at Restaurant Brands International. His background as an educator and head instructor informs a coaching-first management style that favors mentorship, testing culture, and reproducible releases. He’s comfortable diving into low-level issues too, from Skia memory fixes to Flutter engine robustness, demonstrating breadth from graphics and build systems to production observability. The result is a pragmatic, detail-oriented leader who still writes and ships code across the stack.
