Andrew Silva’s journey in democratizing science began during his senior project at San Jose State University, where he demonstrated leadership and innovation. Andrew guided a team of four mechanical engineering students into the unfamiliar territory of embedded device engineering. This interdisciplinary effort, in collaboration with a computer science team and scientists at Moss Landing Marine Lab, resulted in the development of an automated instrument capable of measuring phosphate and nitrogen concentrations in situ over extended periods.
Building on this foundation, Andrew has enhanced workflows and developed innovative devices and instruments for multiple biotech firms. His success in these endeavors led him to establish a consulting company, enabling him to pursue projects aligned with his interests and priorities.
Although Andrew does not currently hold positions at San Jose State University or Moss Landing Marine Lab, his collaborations with these institutions have created lasting connections. These institutions remain his top choices for piloting new software systems, whether integrating them into existing frameworks or building solutions from scratch.
