About Andrew
I'm a product person with a passion for tinkering. I have a great day job, but my mountain of college debt keeps me focused on trying to get additional sources of revenue coming in the door.
I've worked at 2 failed startups in the education technology industry, both of which failed to follow lean principles and user-first thinking. I've attempted to start several of my own businesses, but get throttled due to time or FOMO. My latest effort combines something I'm passionate about with something I'm good at, and already has customers. Hoping to scale to something meaningful!
