Top SchoolAndrew Dillion-walshe is a founding engineer and full-stack developer with a decade of experience building high-throughput, production-grade systems and customer-facing applications. He has co-founded startups, led engineering teams, and helped secure venture funding by delivering an MVP and production architecture that scaled via Kubernetes, Kafka, and Go-based services.
