Hi there! I’m Andrew. I am currently a Computer Science PhD student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I recieved my undergrad RPI in Industrial and Management Engineering with a Minor in Economics. After my undergrad I worked for a year as a Database Engineer at S&P Capital IQ in New York City.

Outside of school I also enjoy photography and am making a dedicated photos section to this site to show off display some of my favorites. I use a Nikon D3100 to shoot all of my stills them and edit them in Adobe Lightroom. I also use a Contour Camera to shoot when I’m doing more active things such as skiing.

I’m also an outdoor enthusiast and love to hike, ski and play ultimate, as you can probably tell from some of my photos. As part of my hiking passion I am almost a 46er and have a goal of hiking the highest peak in all 50 states.

Feel free to follow me elsewhere Twitter, Instagram, Github or email me.
