Andrew Canaday is a lead software engineer with the New York Times, an amateur musician, and home-brew video game programmer turned professional engineer. As a by-product of serendipity and ill-informed optimism, he has become an accidental expert in reverse engineering undocumented software, rearchitecting legacy systems, and frenetic datacenter migrations. He has worked in infrastructure automation, on real-time messaging and personalization, and—most recently—with the CMS/Publishing Group, working on the application architecture and cloud infrastructure used by the newsroom to produce the paper and electronic editions of the New York Times. Previously, Andrew herded cattle, worked in industrial equipment automation for the semiconductor manufacturing industry, and developed pattern recognition systems for freight rail companies and ballistic shell manufacturers.
