He has an MBA from Indiana University with a background in statistics, software development, database design, cloud architecture, and has led analytics teams for over 10 years. He first taught himself to program on an Atari 800 computer at the age of 11 and fondly remembers the frustration of waiting through 20 minutes of beeps and static to load a 100-line program. He now thoroughly enjoys launching a 1 TB GPU-backed cloud instance in a few minutes and getting right to work. Andrew is a private pilot who looks forward to spending some time in the air sometime soon. He enjoys kayaking, camping, traveling the world, and playing around with his six-year-old son and three-year-old daughter.
