Chris Andrews is a Senior Engineering Manager with over 25 years of hands-on experience in telecommunications and systems engineering, currently leading global teams at ADTRAN to accelerate time-to-market through automation and scaled agile practices. He blends deep hardware and firmware design roots—spanning fiber, T1/PRI, and NEBS-hardened systems—with modern software-driven test and release engineering using Jenkins, Python, and Robot Framework. As an RTE he coordinates "team of teams" delivery, driving adoption of common practices that measurably improve regression coverage and product quality. Outside work he codes OTDR SOTA software professionally and experiments with interactive shader generators for SDF raymarched scenes, reflecting a rare mix of telecom domain expertise and creative graphics hobbyist skills. An Auburn University electrical engineering graduate based in Huntsville, he excels at translating complex telecom requirements into practical, automated engineering processes.
