A diligent , details and focussed person who can deliver. Andrew was great to have in my team and produced innovative answers to data problems.

Colin Beagrie

Andrew worked for the School over summer in 2016 to redevelop some technical labs for a teaching module which was badly in need of an update. He achieved this with ease and then went on to exceed his remit. In solving a problem with nested Virtual Machines he showed his high degree of technical knowledge and his pace of work allowed us to extend the number of labs available in the module. Andrew regularly fed back updates on his progress with what had been achieved and what was next. I highly recommend Andrew for any technical related project.
