Engineering Manager • Full-Stack Dev • Builder
I’m a full-stack software engineer with 7+ years of experience designing distributed systems, scaling products, and shipping clean, reliable code. I’ve worked with companies like Unity and Collective[i], blending strong product thinking with deep technical execution.
I’ve always been into side hustles. I started a company in 2017 that built a lip-reading AI system for noisy drive-thrus — we ended up securing a patent (CA 3065446) that was later licensed by a major fast food chain. Around the same time, I launched a window cleaning business that’s still running strong nearly six years later.
A Squared Productions started as a fun YouTube channel and turned into a full-blown content agency. We now manage brand deals, video editing, and growth strategy for short-form creators across platforms.
Right now, I’m also building a stealth startup that mixes fitness accountability with real financial incentives. Because why not make getting in shape just a bit more gamified and rewarding?
Can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under 30 seconds. Still debugging my smart home setup. Always building something.

return "You need a name *and* a pitch — even if it's vague and full of buzzwords."
}

Got a cool project, role, or idea? I’m always up to talk. andrewabouantoun@live.ca
