Andrew Martin — Full-stack engineer in SF

I build software
with intent & craft.

Developer Experience & AI Platform @ Credit Karma

16 years shipping for scale. I build fast, resilient products and the developer tooling that ships them — now on Credit Karma's AI Platform team, building delivery tooling the org's 1,000 engineers use to ship to 140M+ members. Alongside that, I'm currently taking on contract work — hourly, fractional, or a full project build. Product, websites, and AI tools.

What people say

A few words from people I've built alongside — at Credit Karma, Lyft, and beyond.

Andrew is at his best with an ambiguous problem and no clear path — he investigates, narrows it down, and ships a solution without needing much supervision.”

Writing

Occasional notes on building — AI tooling, developer experience, and the odd deep dive.

Lately

  1. Oct 29

    Release Wave is getting a merch shop. A few tees, printed on demand, so nothing sits in my closet. I'm ordering samples first to see how they look on a real shirt.

  2. Oct 29

    Cloudtape's CarPlay got a lot more useful today. There's an Up Next queue, a letter picker for big libraries, and Recent grouped by month. I want it to feel good in the car.

  3. Oct 28

    Working on short talking-head videos for Release Wave. I record myself, and the album art, facts and similar artists show up around me. I want a weekly video habit that doesn't eat my week.
