Andrew Kordampalos

I'm a software engineer with over a decade in SaaS, now working on AI Growth at Zapier. Here's the shift: more and more software is chosen by AI agents, not people. My work is making Zapier the tool those agents reach for, through skills, the Zapier SDK, and MCP.

I care about the place where large language models meet world-class UX. Before Zapier I was a founding engineer at Vowel, an AI meeting platform acquired by Zapier. I've spent my career leading teams, owning roadmaps, and taking products from 0 to 1, which is what led me to write The Builder Manifesto: a case for people who own the whole arc, from idea to code to customer.

I write about building, and how to work in the age of agents, on my blog, X, and LinkedIn. I also speak and run workshops on building with AI agents, and was a judge at HackMIT 2025.
