Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHenry Andrews is an OpenAPI standards expert and contractor with 18 years of experience designing HTTP APIs and shaping JSON Schema as a specification co-author. He combines hands-on engineering—especially refactoring and improving existing code—with technical program management across multiple OpenAPI release lines, having authored major changes to 3.0.4 and 3.1.1 and proposed tooling for compliance, linting, and testing. Henry advises teams on pragmatic API design (REST, hypermedia, or other HTTP styles) and has driven API strategy and OpenAPI adoption at companies like Cloudflare and Riverbed. He also consults on adopting JSON Schema’s newer vocabularies to enable interoperable tooling for code, UI, and docs generation. Based in San Francisco, he pairs a strong QA and automation background with UX training and an interest in immersive theater, bringing both technical rigor and user-focused perspective to API ecosystems.
