Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/andrewpersaud

I’m a Software Engineer with a strong foundation in full-stack development, systems engineering, and automated testing. I currently work at MechoShade Systems, where I build internal engineering tools, diagnostic utilities, and simulation frameworks that support PoE motors, RS-485 devices, and automated building control systems. My work spans front-end interfaces, backend communication layers, and protocol-level debugging, giving me a unique blend of software, hardware, and UX problem-solving experience.Before Mecho, I worked as a Web Developer at StatenWeb, where I built CI/CD pipelines with rsync, modernized legacy WordPress/Elementor sites with Tailwind CSS, and engineered optimizations that reduced client overcharges by 30%. I’ve also developed full-stack applications using Django, Python, React, Node.js, MySQL, Firebase, and Flutter/Dart during internships with The City Tutors and Adidev Technologies.Across all of my roles, I focus on designing tools and experiences that make engineering workflows faster, clearer, and more intuitive. Whether I’m improving UI flows for internal tools, building simulations for automated testing, or developing APIs and backend systems, I care about writing clean, reliable software that solves real-world problems.I’m always open to opportunities in Software Engineering, Front-End Development, Full-Stack Engineering, and roles that mix software with systems or automation. I’m continuously learning, exploring new technologies, and building projects that strengthen both my technical skills and my creativity.

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Mecho
Jan 2024 – Present
Develop and maintain internal engineering and testing applications using Delphi, Python, and JavaScript to support validation of PoE motors, shade controllers, and automated building control systems

Design and refine front-end interfaces for engineering tools, improving UI flow, data visualization, and usability for control panels used with PoE motors, SolarTrac sensors, and Rs-485 devices

Build diagnostic utilities for Rs-485, CoAP, UDP, and JSON-RPC communication that improve debugging turnaround time by 30% and reduce repetitive manual verification

Create simulation tools for SolarTrac radiometer and photosensor logic, increasing automated testing accuracy and ensuring more consistent regression testing

Develop backend features for message parsing, ACK tracking, protocol validation, and SQLite database editing over SSH to strengthen engineering workflow reliability

Enhance legacy GUIs with features such as position verification, error-state reporting, protocol-level message tracing, and analog output calibration to improve clarity and efficiency for engineering teams

### Web Developer @ StatenWeb
Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Staten Island, New York, United States
Leveraged rsync to create a robust CI/CD pipeline to streamline modifications to the client’s live website. Overhauled a complete website built with Elementor, migrating it to a more efficient and responsive design using Tailwind CSS. Installed a custom cookie to prevent excess charges on a client’s website, leading to a 30% fee reduction
