About Andrew Lewman

As the Chief Technology Officer at Redwoods Research, I lead a team of talented engineers and architects to develop large-scale systems that process with over cores and manage hundreds of petabytes of data. I have successfully improved the engineering team\'s velocity by 20% by reducing testing and deployment time, and mentored my team to manage a 30-year-old code base with over lines of code and functions.I am passionate about creating a comprehensive technology strategy that aligns with the business objectives and prioritizes the execution of that strategy to reduce redundant expenditures. This has resulted in a 25% savings in pre-deployment costs. I also ensure the security and integrity of our systems, leveraging my skills in executive management, internet security, and IT security policies and procedures. My goal is to drive innovation and efficiency in the technology sector while fostering a collaborative and productive work environment.
