About

I build the systems that
make everything
else work.

I'm Andy. I've spent over 20 years building things that make organizations run smoother than they realize: AI integrations, data platforms, apps, interfaces, and games. Most of it runs quietly in the background and saves people a lot of time.

My background cuts across Fortune 50 enterprises and scrappy startups shipping their first product. I've worked in telecom, automotive, and tech, across product analytics, business intelligence, consumer UX, data engineering, and ML. I like the full stack of the problem: the architecture, the analysis, the moment a system clicks into place.

People analytics is where I've done some of my deepest work: building workforce intelligence platforms, embedding AI into the tools HR teams live in, and designing data models that hold up at enterprise scale. The same rigor applies to product, operations, finance, consumer experience. Good data architecture doesn't care what domain it's in.

Outside client work, I'm building a creator economy platform, writing about data and analytics, and (when the kids aren't stealing the TV) deep in a Unity project or rewatching Gundam. Building things for fun keeps me sharp for client work.
