Practitioner. Professor. Hiring Manager.
I'm Andrew. I've spent 25+ years in IT, but what drives me isn't the technology, it's helping people. I obsess over rebuilding concepts again and again to find the best way to convey complex ideas, because nothing compares to that moment when a student lights up and you can see it clicked. Knowing that extra effort made a real difference, that's what makes it worthwhile.
Practitioner: 25+ years working across a wide range of technologies, systems, networks, and infrastructures. I know how things actually work in the real world.
Professor: Teaching since 2009. I know how to break down complex topics so they actually stick with you.
Hiring Manager: I've sat on both sides of the interview table. I know exactly what employers look for and how to get you noticed.
