About

Andrew Still is a skilled Software Engineer with over 5 years of experience in the field. He is currently working at ApplyBoard as a Software Engineer, where he has been involved in notable projects such as the development of a payment system, a monolith split, and the building of two internal component libraries. Andrew has a strong background in C++/C and web development, particularly in React and Rails. He made the transition from low-level application development to web development just over a year ago and has been very happy with the change. Andrew has previously worked as a Software Developer at EXFO, where he engineered an RPC framework that allows messages to be passed between internal servers, implemented a configuration and mapping scheme in C, developed an internal C++ API that allows the application to handle multiple types of simultaneous media simulations, and ported application start-up code to handle application spawning and running within a virtual environment. He also implemented a RESTful API in C++ that allows a user to interact and automate the application via CLI. Andrew also mentored co-op students, providing career guidance and support with projects given at work. Before joining ApplyBoard, Andrew worked as a Full Stack Developer at Lani Labs, where he designed and implemented front-end UI/UX in Ruby on Rails to improve the 3D model purchasing experience. He also created a purchasing system in Ruby on Rails and three.js that would price 3D models based upon the amount of material required and the size of the packaging required to ship them. Andrew refactored the codebase to improve code readability and scalability. Andrew holds a Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Waterloo, where he graduated in 2016. His technical skills include Software Engineering, Web Development, Ruby, Javascript, UI, and Frontend development. Andrew is a highly skilled and experienced software engineer who is passionate about developing innovative solutions to complex problems.
