Bio

Hi, my name is Andrew and I'm a software engineer with over 5 years of experience in front end web development. Seeking to learn more and build meaningful web applications using modern technologies, I want to provide users with access to valuable and interactive content. To achieve this goal, I decided to invest in myself by joining General Assembly's software engineering program.

During the program, I learned how to build web applications using modern technologies and gained a deeper understanding of software engineering. You can check out multiple projects on the projects page.

At the end of January 2023, I successfully completed the program, and now I am actively seeking a full-stack software engineer role where I can utilize the new skills and knowledge I have acquired. My goal is to build a career by strengthening my software skills.

When i'm away from my desk, i enjoy spending time with family and friends, practicing yoga and strength training, playing tennis, traveling to new places and trying new recipes.
