Andrew Bliss

Software Engineer — I design, ship, and scale production web applications with React, TypeScript, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.

Experienced full-stack engineer with a track record of migrating legacy platforms to modern architectures and building real-time, high-throughput backend systems. I like hard problems, clear code, and mentoring people.

What I do

  • Lead migrations from legacy PHP systems to React and Next.js without stalling the teams that depend on them
  • Build real-time product workflows — queues, photo capture, seller APIs — used by dealerships at production scale
  • Design data pipelines across PostgreSQL and BigQuery (partitioning, materialized views, indexing) so dashboards stay fast as volume grows
  • Replace polling and brittle backends with Node.js, Redis, and serverless patterns that hold up under load

Currently focused on: database performance, query caching, and table partitioning.

Selected work

Carketa — Software Engineer, 2022–present
Vehicle and dealership software. Migrated a core PHP platform to React/Next.js. Built a reconditioning system (tasks, photos, real-time seller API sync) adopted by ~10 new dealerships a month. Cut dashboard query time by 75% with a BigQuery and PostgreSQL pipeline.

nth-child consulting — Software Engineer, 2017–2022
Led a PHP-to-React/Next.js rewrite of a solar appraisal platform used to sell installation contracts. Replaced a polling-based support system with a Node.js and Redis queue (25% shorter wait times, zero downtime). Shipped a custom proposal tool that increased revenue by 10%.

Writing

On andrewgbliss.com:

  • Making a React sliding animation with Motion
  • Use UIDs over auto increment — why auto-increment IDs leak data, and how Cuid2 helps
  • Forget UUIDs and GUIDs — unique IDs that hold up at scale
