01 / The background

Big-picture thinking.
In-the-details doing.

From writing software to leading product. From global brands to my own experiments. The common thread is turning complicated problems into something people can use.

02 / Beyond the job title

Serious about the work.
Curious about everything.

I’m Andrew, based in Portland. I work at the intersection of product and software, and I keep building outside the day job.

Sometimes that means a daily briefing. Sometimes it means dice for a tough decision. Sometimes it’s a paper car going sideways.

I’m a Certified Scrum Master and Certified Scrum Product Owner. I’ve also held a Formula Drift license. The curiosity doesn’t stop at a job description.
