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 24

    The Release Wave newsletter goes weekly now. I write the intro by texting a bot from my phone, and it tidies the typos and keeps it sounding like me.

  2. Oct 24

    Prototyping a way for Release Wave fans to rebuild their concert history. It walks you through shows near you and asks if you were there. Like a ticket stub book you never had to keep.

  3. Oct 23

    Working on a way to start Claude Code sessions on my home Mac from my phone. Pick up an idea on the couch, kick off the work, and let the machine at home do it. Locked down tight first.
