Staff Profiles

Andrew is pursuing his BA in Growth and Structure of Cities from Haverford College. He acknowledges that his chosen major is tough to explain succinctly, which is why he never fails to mention he also has a minor in Computer Science. That, and he also hopes it garners him credit with any technology geeks listening in nearby. In addition to studying (or perhaps in place of it at times), Andrew contributes to Haverford’s computing club, and its student newspaper, The Bi-College News, as a reporter, editor and webmaster.

Before joining Azavea, Andrew worked as a summer intern at Axeda Corporation, performing quality testing on the company’s remote device monitoring and M2M internet applications. He thinks its really cool that the ATM he got money from this morning could be running software that he helped sure up the kinks in.

Born outside of Pittsburgh and raised in central Massachusetts, Andrew gets excited by whatever amount of time he can spend in new, big cities. He loves to ogle anything that has wheels, wings, rails, or a hull, is trying hard to hold onto the Spanish that he learned studying in Barcelona this year, and wishes he had more time to play with ham radio. Andrew firmly believes there is no such thing as "too much" pizza.

He also hopes to turn his nine-year-old sister into as much of a geek as he is. Word’s still out on whether he’s successful with that yet.
