Other

I have been working in the IT world for almost 20 years, predominantly engineering database solutions for small as well as large companies across various industries including consulting, healthcare, online, mortgage & logistics.

My hands-on work experience includes the design & creation of new environments from scratch, the overhaul & consolidation of existing systems, the implementation of high availability and disaster recovery technologies, performance tuning, development & support as well as in-house training, the compilation of business cases, project coordination, hiring & performance reviews.

I have been member, leader and mentor for onshore and offshore teams and have worked with developers, IT & support staff as well as business stakeholders and executives alike, both as technical resource and liaison between technology & business.

I am passionate about technology, learning new skills and implementing solutions for problems that I did not even know exist yesterday - if you ask me, there is nothing better than a real challenge !

Recommendations

Head of IT Operations (Eugen Gräf)
"Andy is the star quarterback on the team. He will proving his stellar worth by getting a couple days, sitting down with a few whitepapers and nailing a solution that will amaze even the best DBAs.

He is a diamond in the rough. Just don't underestimate him and if you are lucky enough to have him pass your line of vision as a potential hire. Don't blink. You may miss him."
Expedia Group
Senior Product Manager (Zach Beer)
"One of the most challenging things for a DBA to do is to relate to developers. Andy's unique approach made him very accessible. He was willing to discuss the pros & cons of different approaches, despite having greater knowledge than the developers he was assisting. He was always willing to dig in and research solutions to harder problems. Most of all, he made himself part of the larger team. I worked with Andy at Highbeam as well as Guaranteed Rate & I'd work with him again in a heartbeat."
