I have heard it said, "If you can't explain something in simple terms, you don't understand it." Andrew understands it. I have learned everything I know about security and DevOps and much of what I know about the intricacies of software development from Andrew's ability to explain complex ideas simply. Throughout nearly eight years of working with Andrew, I have seen him develop his expertise with hands-on hard work, effective collaboration, and continued education. He has always been my go-to person when I need to better understand the importance of well-planned infrastructure, two-factor authentication, cloud monitoring metrics, or even how a release pipeline works. I often still go to him for security-related questions. Andrew has repeatedly proven not only that he is excellent at troubleshooting even the most uncommon of issues, but he has the patience and persistence to identify complex problems and develop efficient and effective solutions complete with quality documentation. I would not have succeeded as well in my roles without his guidance and support. Andrew is a valuable asset any company would be fortunate to have on their team.

I had the pleasure of working with Andrew for nearly three years. Over that time he progressed from an IT Specialist role to a DevOps engineer. In all of my time I have not experienced anyone who was more willing or able to take on a new challenge and really devote themselves to learning and growing in a role. He has met every difficulty as an opportunity and capitalized on them. He is very experienced in docker, kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure. Andrew is not afraid to sit down and critically analyze existing systems and architecture and propose needed changes. He takes feedback well and is more than happy to collaborate and work together on projects as a team. He has a wonderful attitude and is a fantastic team member. Any company would be lucky to have him on their team and I hope to one day work with him again.

Andrew is an extremely knowledgable and well-rounded DevOps engineer. He's especially talented at wrangling Kubernetes and is equally comfortable with both AWS and Azure. He also has a strong work ethic and adheres to security best practices. It was a pleasure to have worked with him.
