About Me
Hey, I’m Andrew (he/him)! I am a full stack software engineer specializing in Ruby on Rails development, most recently as a Senior Product Developer at Podia. I am also a content creator and podcaster in the Ruby community, best known as a co-host on the Remote Ruby podcast and early collaborator on Stimulus Reflex.
Background
My birthday is March 1st and I grew up in North Carolina, but have been working remotely for over 3 years, most recently remotely out of Phoenix, Arizona.
I have always had a strong interest in the field of software development, since I was able to grow up around them, and I have always had a passion for learning new things. My first official programming courses were in high school in Visual Basic and Java, though I had been making websites for fun for as long as I can remember.
Since I had a knack for programming and was still interested in a career in tech, I atteneded the University of North Carolina at Wilmington where I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. Since graduating, I have had several years of experience in the software engineering and web development industry.
Personality
To the surprise of many who have interacted actively or passively with me on the interwebs, I am quite introverted. I find it hard to describe myself so I now have a dedicated place for jotting down notes about my personality as I come across them.
I am a private person in general but the one aspect of my personal life that I have been very upfront about is that I have ADHD. It has a major impact on my life, which is why I talk and write very openly about it.
Support
Want to support my work or say thanks? It is definitely not necessary but always appreciated!
