Andrea Essenfeld

I am a technology and business professional with a strong background in software development, technical architecture, and data-driven optimization. I currently serve as a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer at Salesforce, where I partner with clients to implement scalable technical solutions and drive innovation in complex business environments. In addition, I hold roles as a Senior Technical Architect and Technical Architect, helping teams design and deploy enterprise-level solutions that align with organizational goals.

Earlier in my career, I worked as an Optimization Consultant at Salesforce, providing strategic guidance to improve system efficiency, and as a Business Data Consultant at TechSalerator, where I helped deliver high-quality global and local location data solutions. My hands-on experience includes internships with BMW Manufacturing Co., where I conducted analytics gap assessments, developed data visualization dashboards, and supported the implementation of advanced analytics platforms to optimize operational performance.

I also have research experience as an Undergraduate Research Assistant at the University of Florida, analyzing creative and technical writing to explore divergent thinking among engineers. Beyond my technical work, I served as President of the Lubavitch Chabad Student Group, leading a team of 75 members, managing events, budgeting, and organizational operations.

I am passionate about solving complex problems at the intersection of technology, business, and data. I combine analytical skills, technical expertise, and leadership experience to drive impactful results, foster collaboration, and deliver innovative solutions.
