Andrew Gibson

I live in Austin and work at Frost Bank as Chief of Staff for the IT Management Office (ITMO). In this role, I extend executive reach, create far-reaching presentations, drive strategic IT programs, own key operating rhythms, and maintain key vendor relationships.

I hold Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) , Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) , Certified SAFe 5 Advanced Scrum Master (SASM), Prosci Certified Change Practitioner, and AWS Certified AI Practitioner credentials.

Before Frost, I worked as a senior delivery manager at Frogslayer, a custom-software company. I guided clients through complex application development and managed scope, schedule, budget, resourcing, releases, and requirements. I also triaged incidents, wrote status reports, tracked project/agile metrics, and help shape future client contracts.

Before Frogslayer, I worked at Charles Schwab as a scrum master operating in a SAFe structure. I guided multiple teams, one of which built and maintained a company-wide design system. My responsibilities included backlog management, release coordination, capacity planning, cross-team dependency resolution, coaching, and playbook development.

Before Schwab, I worked as a senior engineer at The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit news organization focused on politics and policy. I worked with React, Vue and Django to build, maintain and improve in-house apps and sites. This included the CMS, core website (which I made one of the fastest in the news business!), donation platform, user portal, pixel tracker, and legislative directory. I also led agile ceremonies, maintained the engineering backlog and project managed development of the Texas Tribune Festival website.

Before that, I was a news applications engineer at the Orlando Sentinel. I built interactive projects (that won awards), maps, databases, graphics and quizzes. I was also the principal developer in charge of delivering election results to the Central Florida and the Fort Lauderdale areas. This effort required AWS provisioning, scraping a variety of county data formats, and funneling the numbers into maps and tables. (Unfortunately, poor news archiving has rendered most of my work unviewable.)

For about two years, I was co-organizer of the Austin Web Performance meetup. I’ve also helped organize a few hackathons (this one and this one).

I’ve spoken at the International Symposium for Online Journalism in Austin, the National High School Journalism Convention in D.C., and News Xchange in Marrakesh, Morocco.

I’m a Missouri School of Journalism valedictorian and native of the Denver area.
