Hey, I'm Andrew. I like books, software, trees, coffee, dessert, and exploring this world of ours.

I'm a software engineer with 9 years of experience building web apps

at places like Microsoft and AWS. I'm comfortable up and down the stack and love a good challenge.

My proudest accomplishment is

toilet training my cat.

My small contribution to science:

I've traveled to 30 countries

on 5 continents.

After 7 years of work on nights and weekends, I finished a first draft of an eight-book novel

at roughly 1600 pages. Time to work on that second draft...

One of my favorite sensations in the world is surfing,

ignoring the runs where I wipe out immediately and swallow a gallon of saltwater (most of them).

I live in Colorado with my wife, who's been my friend for 22 years,

and our two kids.
