About Andrew Paulson

I am a Software Engineering leader with 8+ years of experience building scalable, reliable software systems and leading high impact projects. I focus on delivering customer value by partnering closely with product, design, and cross functional stakeholders. As an Engineering Manager, I’ve built multiple teams from the ground up (5+ engineers each), and delivered 0 to 1 fintech products in fast paced environments. My background as a Senior Backend Engineer, where I worked with complex business and data requirements, informs my pragmatic approach to architecture, technical decision making, and mentorship. I\'m passionate about solving technical problems that drive long term company value.
