About Me
Hi, I'm Andrew. I am a recent computer science graduate and open source enthusiast. I previously worked in the insurance industry, however I've decided to pursue my love of coding and transition to a career in software development. I was incredibly excited to have the opportunity to earn my Computer Science degree at Oregon State University, and I look forward to starting my new career in the field!
