Andrew is a failed sports science student who wanders into software engineering by virtue of luck and the necessity to find a job in a hurry. Through the grace and patience of his colleagues, he has spent nearly the past decade learning how to be a software engineer, systems engineer, site reliability engineer and student of human factors. Most recently, he has been learning how to become an engineering manager and trying to pass on what knowledge he has gained so far to the next generation of software adventurers.
