Andrew Jorgensen Hiring Approved
Situation
Approved hiring Andrew Jorgensen for an IC role reporting to Nathan Blackham. Offered flexibility on level - he can come in at senior or less senior position based on his comfort.
Reasoning
Multiple trusted colleagues vouched for his history of driving automation and systems-level thinking. His interview demeanor was temporary burnout from Google, not baseline. He thrives on green field challenges - CVE automation goal is perfect fit. His 90-day plan will focus exclusively on NARF. Trusted team knowledge of candidate over single interview impression.
Additional Context
Initial concerns about low energy and lack of AI curiosity during interview. Nathan, Max, Justin clarified this was temporary burnout. Andrew led Amazon Linux 2 and Workspaces project. Expected productivity to exceed Trinity and Jeff combined.
