Hey! I'm Andrew ☺

Currently reinventing myself and discovering what actually excites me.

Hi there, I'm Andrew, and I'm a recent college graduate from Cornell. In the year since I've been out of college, I worked at Meta, and, although I understood the extraordinary opportunity this was, I was ultimately driven to a point where I lost my excitement for work.

Since leaving the company, I've been on a quest to finding work that excites me and being surrounded by people who are like-minded in being motivated in solving the important yet underrated challenges of the world. I take a particular interest in protecting the environment, improving transit systems, and learning about sustainable farming.

At Cornell, I was a developer and later TPM on DTI (Design Tech Initiative), a student-run organization that develops websites to help the broader Ithaca community. The app that I worked on was courseplan.io. Before that, I grew up in Fremont, California.
