Bio
Darren W.
Andrew is a great team player, and excellent communicator. In the time I worked with him he was able to provide robust troubleshooting skills across an increasingly technical landscape, alongside humour and chat on lighter topics which is much needed when the pressure is on. When picking up new topics (AWS, Kubernetes, advanced 3rd party integrations) Andrew was happy to get fully involved, handle any issues that arose and fill in missing documentation along the way to light the path for future engineers. A pleasure to work with, and I'd happily work with Andrew again in the future.

I have worked with Andrew on multiple occasions and he has always been a great help. Andrew's vast knowledge and ability to translate it into easy to understand language has made my work much easier. Andrew has great technical knowledge across a wide range of technologies and is quick to pick up any new challenge. You can always count on Andrew for good support, careful and thorough investigations/analysis and a positive, engaged working relationship.
