Product leadership for data-heavy, high-stakes systems.
I'm Andrew Cary. I lead product teams that modernize case management, intake, and data platforms, with roots that run from SQL and ETL pipelines to executive business cases.
// what I do
Where product strategy meets the data layer.
I move between hands-on work, like analysis, testing, and specs, and leading several cross-functional teams at once. That range lets me translate between engineers, compliance teams, and executives.
Product strategy and roadmaps
Roadmaps, business cases for funding, and buy vs. build decisions grounded in outcomes you can measure.
Data modeling and JSON Schema
Relational and semi-structured models, enterprise schema standards, and data profiling.
Integrations and APIs
Connecting intake, investigation, and case systems so data moves cleanly between platforms.
ETL and data quality
Pipelines, migrations, and automated integrity testing across database platforms.
Regulatory systems
Intake and case management built for teams that have to show their work to regulators.
Leading cross-functional teams
SAFe Agile, Kanban, or Waterfall. Clear direction and steady delivery either way.
