Andrew Little

VP of Engineering building AI-powered mobile platforms. I lead teams that ship reliable software for hundreds of thousands of frontline workers.

About

I'm an engineering leader at Salesforce, where I lead Field Service Mobile. We build the apps and platform that frontline technicians use every day to serve customers in manufacturing, energy, telecom, and healthcare.

My focus is reliability, AI-guided workflows, and developer velocity. Before mobile, I spent years in Marketing Cloud building products that scaled to millions of users.

I write about engineering leadership, building distributed teams, and the intersection of AI and mobile platforms.
