Andy Satraitis

I'm a senior software engineer with a deep passion for building scalable, high-performance systems—especially when it comes to AI-driven tools and developer workflows. With a strong background in Go, I specialize in designing robust architectures that bridge the gap between human intent and machine execution. Whether it's simplifying function calling for LLMs, optimizing backend infrastructure, or refining API interactions, I thrive on turning complex ideas into well-structured, efficient solutions.

My work is driven by curiosity, a love for elegant code, and the belief that great tools empower developers to do their best work. I enjoy tackling complex engineering challenges, designing intuitive APIs, and continuously improving development processes. Whether I'm refining a Go project or architecting a scalable system, I'm always looking for ways to push the boundaries of what's possible.
