Biography

Why do you enjoy being an instructor at Eleven Fifty?
I want to pass on the skills and confidence 1150 helped me gain when I was a student.

Tell us about your background in Tech.
I attended Eleven Fifty as a student in 2015, and worked for 5 years as a professional front-end developer. I was hired by a small startup called VeriCite, which was acquired by Turnitin LLC.

When did you know you were interested in Tech?
I have always liked Tech. It has made my life and various jobs easier. I hadn’t considered a career in tech though until a friend suggested it. I was laid off and they said, “Have you heard of Eleven Fifty?” That was when I realized I could have a career in Tech.

A fun fact about Andrew!
I grow 18 different kinds of hot pepper!
