Hello World! I'm Andrew, a software developer from Montreal, Canada.

I’ve helped build and scale products at Shutterstock (PremiumBeat), SSENSE, and People Like Us.

For more than a decade, I’ve combined technical expertise with leadership to bring ambitious product ideas to life.

When I'm not immersed in code, you can find me canoeing—touching grass, creating music, or doodling in my sketchbook.
