## Biography
Andrew Orobator is a senior Android engineer at [[reddit|Reddit]] and the author of the Vibe Engineering series, a ten-part methodology for AI-assisted software development covering personas, reusable skills, worklogs, agent workflows, and self-driving codebases. He co-authored the series with Claude using the same practices it describes, treating AI not as a autocomplete layer but as a collaborative engineering system with memory, process, and taste. Andrew has spent over a decade building Android products at scale, with experience across consumer apps, developer tooling, and mobile architecture. His current work explores how AI agents can move from ad hoc prompting into durable engineering infrastructure: systems that preserve context, improve through feedback loops, and help teams ship better software with less coordination drag. At AI Engineer World’s Fair, he brings a practitioner’s view of what it takes to make AI-assisted development feel less magical, more reliable, and actually useful.
