Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Perks is a senior software engineer and engineering leader with nine years of experience building scalable, user-first systems across frontend, backend, IoT and cloud infrastructure. He blends hands-on engineering—TypeScript, Go, Swift, React, PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch—with product-focused strategy, having launched subscription products, AI-powered search, and cross-platform monetization features at Shutterstock. Comfortable scaling teams and systems, he has led engineering teams through migrations, experimentation frameworks, and reliability practices while mentoring engineers and owning OKRs. A former infantry leader turned developer, he brings discipline and systems thinking to high-pressure product delivery and on-call operations. Based in Montreal, he’s equally at home shipping code or shaping product direction and is actively seeking senior IC or leadership roles where autonomy, mentorship, and measurable impact matter. Outside work he builds music, sketches, and canoe trips—small creative practices that fuel his curiosity and iterative approach to engineering.
