About Andy K.
Please don\'t message me for recruiting or staffing services, we are all set there!)I’m an experienced engineering leader / former IC who builds, maintains, and scales high-performing, happy, product-minded teams.Over the years, I’ve led teams across fintech, healthcare, livestreaming, e-commerce, and marketplaces. My focus is on building environments where engineers can operate with autonomy and purpose, supported by the right systems, tools, and just enough process to ship high-quality work sustainably.I’m a big believer in staying hands-on. I still write code, experiment with AI tooling, and contribute directly when it adds value. Recently, that’s meant rolling out LLM-powered workflows (n8n, RAG, automation agents) and helping teams get comfortable with agentic coding tools.I’ve implemented agile and cycle-based delivery models that adapt to team maturity, and I use data/metrics to guide team improvement without reducing people to dashboards.I’ve helped build remote-first cultures, grown engineers into managers and directors, and developed empathy-based frameworks for mentorship and career development.If you’re thinking about how to scale your team, bring AI into your engineering culture, or move faster without burning out, hit me up! I\'m always happy to share my experience and learn from others.
