Hi, my name is
Loice Andia
I build and lead engineering teams.
I'm an Engineering Leader and Managing Director specializing in building scalable systems and empowering high-performing teams. Currently, I'm focused on delivering exceptional technical solutions at Acoruss and Gapstack.
About Me
Hello! I'm Loice, an engineering leader with a passion for building impactful technology and empowering high-performing teams. My journey spans from hands-on software engineering at Microsoft and AWS to leading engineering teams and co-founding companies.
At AWS, I enhanced security and compliance for billing services, redesigned authentication processes, and developed auditor tools that significantly improved billing accuracy and revenue collection across multiple accounts. Before that, at Microsoft, I worked on Azure Host OS servicing, ensuring 99.9% uptime for Azure services, and contributed to Windows Admin Center, including implementing accessibility features for differently-abled users.
Currently, as Co-Founder & Managing Director at Acoruss and Head of Engineering at Gapstack, I combine technical expertise with strategic leadership to drive innovation. I've also dedicated years to mentoring developers at Andela, organizing knowledge-sharing sessions and strengthening client relationships through effective collaboration.
My philosophy is simple: Team first, learning second, then delivery. This approach has helped me build cohesive, high-performing teams that consistently exceed expectations.
Here are some technologies I've been working with:
- Python & Rust
- TypeScript & React
- AWS & Azure
- Cloud Architecture
- Team Leadership
- System Design
