Summary
Karl Sandwich is a senior software engineering manager with 20+ years in software and over a decade leading cloud-native teams to deliver production-grade systems. He has driven cross-functional programs at Amazon and PillPack improving operational scale, observability, and multi-million dollar cost reductions, and more recently led product expansion into scientific data pipelines and instrument integrations at Benchling. At AcuityMD he now applies that blend of cloud architecture and domain-driven design to surface clinical insights that improve patient outcomes and support medical device adoption. Karl pairs hands-on technical fluency (AWS, CI/CD, ETL, service-oriented architectures) with people leadership, managing hybrid-remote teams and product roadmaps across complex regulated domains. He’s comfortable translating research and proprietary formats into open standards—evidenced by delivering 30+ instrument integrations mapped to ASM—and often focuses on pragmatic, measurable impact rather than theoretical perfection. Based in Waltham, MA, he brings a curious, product-minded approach informed by both deep engineering and real-world clinical and e-commerce operations.
