Andrew Feldman possesses expertise in cloud computing, enterprise software, enterprise architecture, software engineering, agile methodologies and 32 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Bottom line on top: I'd want Andy for my next startup - or in any other size organization or project, in any role from individual developer to team manager. Initially, Andy sought out joining my newly acquired group in CA since he liked the product and the team -- and the challenge that a new category product created. He took on the visual editor tool - a highly interactive web-based UI that is at the core of the product. Even though he did not have much experience in the language/technology the UI was developed in, he and a couple of engineers mentored by him got up to speed in just 4-5 weeks (over 60,000 lines of code using 3 different languages and technologies). His goal was as part of learning to implement several highly visible UI features in the product - and he completed this with flying colors. He became responsible for the architecture of the component; the design, development and testing of features; as well as a technology transition and a number of important proof-of-concept prototypes. Later, he and his team also took on additional components, including a set of automated configuration tools for virtual appliances, supporting multiple versions and flavors of Windows and Linux. In addition, Andy's experience in operating systems and kernels contributed significantly to his architecture and coding work through the application level as well, ensuring that (a) proper performance and reliability and (b) the resulting code and capabilities can be easily extended and reused in ways that were not in the original requirements. Through the almost 3 years we worked together, Andy took on a variety of responsibilities - from coding himself, to mentoring a small team of 2-3 developers, to managing all East Coast development for our product (multi-site). On several occasions he also represented our group/product on quarterly reviews to my direct manager and peers, as well as to other functional organizations (product management, sales engineering, support, etc.). What impressed me most is how easily Andy was able to move up and down the scope and be efficient at all levels, always taking into account both the long term and the short term aspects, to tune to what is needed at the time and circumstances. He is always ready to take on challenges and realistic about his and his team's capabilities. He likes to learn new things and put them into immediate use. He is also passionate about his work and doing things right. In addition to earning my trust and respect, he is also well respected by his peers and team members, regularly delivering on promises and caring about both the product results and the human aspects of the work. He has excellent communications skills at all levels. Bottom line: I'd want Andy for my next startup - or in any other size organization or project, in any role from individual developer to team manager." and "Andy and I collaborated on a brand new product for CA, called the CMDB. Starting up a new product, from scratch required lots of communication, collaboration and integration, especially when we had very aggressive deadlines. Andy fostered collaboration between the CA CMDB and CA Service Desk teams which resulted in a very successful and a high quality version 1.0 product launch - resulting in one of the most success product launches in CA history. Technically, we had to design everything from the ground up, starting from identifying key metrics, to database structures, to user interfaces and utilities. We even had the chance to collaborate on new and innovative technologies, like the patented CMDB versioning feature. Andy is a really good guy, who is extremely dedicated and would be a valuable asset for any company."
