Andrew Brimer
Engineer, Entrepreneur, Builder
I turn ideas into reality.
I work at Wellinks as Senior Director of Engineering, focusing on architecture, data, product, & strategy. Wellinks is a virtual care and medical device company that uses real-time biosensors and predictive ML to prevent hospitalizations for people with chronic respiratory or cardiac conditions.
Before Wellinks, I co-founded Sparo Health, where we developed Wing—the first FDA-cleared OTC smartphone spirometer—and Lift Pulmonary Rehab, a virtual platform for people with COPD. Sparo was acquired by Wellinks in 2022. Along the way, I returned to help my alma mater (WashU) through a university-wide transformation, leading the School of Medicine's modernization of core medical, HR, & finance systems.

Explorations
I enjoy composing and playing piano, trombone, ukulele, and creating electronic music. Outside of music, I tinker with 3D printing and electronics, explore astronomy and architecture, and experiment with procedural simulation and game design. I live near Boulder, Colorado with my partner Allie and love spending time in the mountains.
