Andy Martin

I'm CTO at MJH Life Sciences in central New Jersey, rewiring tech and data with AI, personalization, and agents.

At Amazon, I was engineering lead for Audible's machine-learning / AI platform and personalization. The work I'm proudest of there: Talk to a Book (ask AI questions about the audiobook you're listening to, without leaving the app), Maven (LLM-powered search and recommendations), and scaling the recommender infrastructure.

Earlier, I led engineering at Renaissance, data and ML at Alloy, and technology for the Newark Public Schools.

After UChicago, I joined KIPP NJ in Newark in the Cory Booker era and helped found a college-prep high school. Dale Russakoff wrote about that moment for The New Yorker; my retrospective ran in The 74.

Why almart.in

My UChicago entering class was the first to claim our own usernames at new-student orientation. I was early in line, so Andrew Layne Martin of Eagan, Minnesota became almartin. I got the same handle on Gmail shortly after it went GA in April 2004. Ten years on, almart.in was the natural home for the rest of it. (I do get a lot of misdirected mail meant for other A. Martins. Sorry, folks.)
