Bio

I was the technical point of contact for Andrew during his internship at Zeta and I would not hesitate to recommend him for future software engineering work. His eagerness to learn new technologies and his follow-through on expanding his skills are top notch. I specifically worked with him in linux environments setting up and testing bare-metal kubernetes applications and setting up a custom three.js JavaScript application for AudioStream analysis. All of these were new to him at time of his internship and by the end, he was quite accomplished with them. He'll no doubt go far if he continues on track and any company would be lucky to have his talent in the future.
