Andrew Erlanger

Software Engineer.

Wait. Who?

Andrew, nice to meet you. I was supposed to be a psychologist. I studied psychology at Cambridge and received accreditation to the British Psychological Society. Then I realized I preferred writing code. Life, huh? I’ve now been a software guy for the best part of the last decade – building & managing a hearty mix of digital products.

Main Focus.

+ Code & Co.

I currently serve as Head of Engineering at Code & Co., a specialized consultancy that carries out Tech & Product Due Diligence in the Venture Capital and Private Equity spaces. My job is to think deeply about the needs of our consultants and build products that automate their work in some areas and enhance the depths of their insights in others.

On the Side.

+ Le Wagon

I also work part-time as a Senior Lecturer at Le Wagon – the world’s #1 ranked coding bootcamp – as part of their web development track.

# Ruby# Javascript

+ Aestival

I co-founded Aestival as a passion project in 2019 and serve as the CTO. We connect live music professionals (audio engineers, light technicians, stage managers, and the like) with employers who require their services.

# Founder# Rails# Javascript# Fly.io

+ Open Source

I’m a mildly-active member of the StimulusReflex, CableReady and WeasyPrint communities, and have made various OS contributions across all three projects over the years.

In the Past.

+ Kurabu

Cloud-based club management software for sports organizations of all shapes and sizes. I was a founding engineer and spent 1.5 years building out the foundations of the web and mobile apps.

# Founding Engineer# Elixir# React Native

+ Common Goal

Probably the best thing I’ve done. Common Goal is a global football (soccer) movement that I co-founded in 2015. It’s gone on to raise millions of euros for high-impact charities around the world, and partnered with brands ranging from Adidas to EA Sports to UEFA.

# Founder# Social Impact# PHP# Drupal

+ Movember

A moustache-adjacent charity experience. I was a founding member of the Movember UK team and spearheaded its operations department for the 2011 campaign.

# Founding Member# Social Impact

+ Institute of Network Cultures

Remember when everyone loved social media? Long before the fake news, election meddling, and observed spikes in teen depression, I worked as a researcher at an academic institute that sought to understand social media monopolies through a more critical lens.
