Andrew Whtimore

I enjoy most, building reliable software with strong teams and a clear focus on business needs. With 4+ years of experience collaborating with product owners, developers, and cross-functional partners, I bring a mix of technical depth, practical problem-solving, and a steady commitment to building secure, maintainable systems. My background in React, NextJS, PostgreSQL, Redis, and automated testing aligns well with your need for someone who can improve enterprise services while supporting long-term growth.

Spent much of my time working across application and database layers to keep enterprise platforms running smoothly. Regularly partnered with product owners and other developers to translate requirements into working web applications and microservices, while also enhancing existing services to improve reliability and performance. Balanced immediate delivery with thoughtful engineering decisions that hold up over time.

• Implemented unit tests and automated testing frameworks, helping reduce post-release bugs by 30% and strengthened test-driven approach
• Pioneered CI/CD pipeline improvements and researched new technologies that reduced release cycle times by 40%
• Optimized database queries to improve data retrieval speed by 75%, which had a meaningful impact on overall application performance
• Supported coding standards through code reviews and Agile ceremonies
• Worked closely with architects and technical leads to make decisions that support enterprise scale
