Andrew Bird

Andrew Bird is Head of AI at Affinda and the architect behind its shift to an agentic, “reads-like-a-human” document processing platform. With an actuarial background (FIAA, CERA), he builds systems that pair large language models with retrieval and memory to deliver straight-through processing for resumes and other complex documents. Andrew helped launch Affinda’s high-accuracy resume parser and its new IDP platform, now used in 50+ languages. His work has been featured by AWS for leading Affinda’s move to a modern generative-AI stack, and he was recently named a finalist for AI Software Engineer of the Year.
