Hi! I'm Andrew, and my two favorite activities to do are code and build things. As a kid, I have always had an interest in technology and its roles in our lives. So naturally, I aspired to work in a field related to technology but was unsure of what exactly to do. Growing older, I surrounded myself with the ever evolving world of tech and discovered the reason why it was so enjoyable. It was because the experience of using and interacting with technology always felt magical (if done right). I loved using a well designed product; it was always a pleasure to see a wonderfully composed application or website; and it was great knowing someone put in a lot of effort to make something work and look good for me. But I also experienced the frustrations that came with using a poorly designed application, and thats where I knew what I wanted to do.
