S10 Bonus: Optimizing Software Delivery Intelligence: Integrating Signals Across Git and Jira to Audit AI Token Efficiency and DORA Metrics with Andrew Lau, Co-Founder & CEO of Jellyfish
Mar 6, 2025 · Season 10 · 27 min
Helping Engineering Leaders do better
Andrew Lau is located in Boston now, but is a California native. He grew up in Oakland, and calls himself the odd duck who went west instead of east, like most people. He went to the north east for school, and stayed to be apart of the startup world, interestingly enough with his current co-founders. Outside of tech, he's married to an AP Calculus teacher, and has two daughters. He enjoys cooking and making new cuisine with his kids. Fun fact, he is a certified barbecue judge in Kansas City, and has come to Texas a time or two to tour the Texas Monthly list.
Andrew met his current co-founders in 1999. Recently, they re-connected, recalling the successes and camaraderie they had during their startup days. They recalled that the act of leading engineering teams is hard - and they wanted to build something that makes that easier.
This is the creation story of Jellyfish.
