Andy is a skilled software engineer with experience in computer graphics, computer networks, artificial intelligence, and bioinformatics. He’s adept at many different languages and frameworks, but has a special fondness for Ruby.
Ever the altruist, Andy regularly shares and contributes code back to the open source community. He developed a geographic information system API to allow developers to easily integrate with a variety of applications (including Google Earth) by programming to one interface.
He’s also shared his knowledge in other noteworthy ways. He wrote a couple papers published by the esteemed Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and even worked at NASA for a brief stint building software tools for mechanical engineers. (Unfortunately, they didn't let him go into space.)
In his down time, Andy enjoys Ultimate Frisbee, frequently "laying out" to the detriment of his body, and National Public Radio. He’s even been a winner on "Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me," so yes, that is Carl Kasell on his answering machine.
