Engineering systems built to endure.

I’m Andy Carlberg. I hold a BS in Computer Science from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and an MBA from the University of Iowa. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve worked across the stack as an engineer, systems architect, and engineering manager.

My focus is on architectural durability and developer agency. In fast-growing codebases, complexity compounds faster than features: tight coupling creeps in, deployment pipelines become fragile, and teams spend more time wrestling with coordination bottlenecks than solving real engineering problems. I work with teams to dismantle that cycle—introducing clear service boundaries, practical decoupling, and automated verification so systems remain straightforward to change.

I believe good engineering leadership is about removing friction rather than adding process. When engineers have deep ownership over their domain, direct visibility into user problems, and reliable guardrails like TDD and CI/CD, they don't need heavyweight management oversight to ship high-quality software continuously and safely.
