I’ve worked across engineering, product management, and design, with a range of skills that let me contribute flexibly based on what a team needs. At Rakuten Rewards (https://www.rakuten.com/), I shipped production-ready features at scale, including a global authentication system redesign, a credit card validation flow migration, and internal tools for purchase parsing and data scraping. At Colony Brands (https://www.colonybrands.com/), I now focus on web design and front-end work across multiple brands and seasonal campaigns.

I'm best when I'm designing, building, and shaping experiences that make sense to users. No agencies, please.

Hi! I'm Andy. I have 4 years of product manager experience and 8 years as a software engineer working in Python/Django. I managed several key initiatives at Rakuten Rewards related Authorization / Authentication as well as a Digital Vault Platform. I am very curious and have a drive to learn. I am fun and easy to work with.
