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.

I fret about AI doom - and in my spare time I build the document‑reading AI that keeps your ops alive.

Agentic IDP systems

Building document processing platforms that combine AI models with tools, memory and supervisors to deliver auditable, enterprise-grade automation.

Production-grade AI engineering

Bridging the gap between fast experiments and robust production systems through proper architecture, testing frameworks, data curation, edge case hunting and evaluation systems – the unglamorous operational work that makes demos trustworthy.

Future-proofing for AI evolution

Designing with flexible interfaces and smart decomposition so platforms stay relevant as models improve rather than getting replaced by them.
