Andrew became fascinated with pushing technology to its limits at a young age. Whether it was modding games, systems, or glitch hunting - he never liked to be locked into artificial barriers. This thinking persisted through his personal and professional life.
Although he studied finance, actuarial mathematics and computer information systems in school, he found himself accepting a position at a B2B market research firm. Here, he gained nearly a decade of product management experience, helping build various decision-making tools, applications and websites used by professionals in some of the largest Fortune 500 companies.
An avid traveler, Andrew has visited over 18 countries - mostly by himself. He's slept on the beaches of Goa, got tattooed by a monk with a stick in Thailand, thrown a grenade in Cambodia, bungee jumped in New Zealand, partied all night in Ibiza, hiked into unmarked trails in the Blue Mountains, and much more. Outside of work and travel, you'll most likely find him playing video games, ripping trails on his mountain bike, experimenting in the kitchen or taking walks with his two puppers.

Matt arrived at software development with a marketing degree. After three years working in the field, he realized he wasn't so interested in data and analytics. What interested Matt was the marketing software he had gotten so familiar with on the job. He would wonder who built it, how it worked, and why it was designed the way it was.
After teaching himself the fundamentals and completing a 6-month, full-stack bootcamp, Matt began his transition from marketing into software development by picking up hours as a contractor outside of his normal 9-5. In spring of 2021, he finally transitioned into a full-time role in software development and has not slowed down learning and growing as a developer on different teams and projects.
