About Andrew

Full-Stack Developer in North Carolina

My name is Andrew John Weisbeck and I am a 33 year old computer science lovin' dude who shares his life with an awesome chick named Lisa and our kitty, Bean. I am super passionate about programming - it is likely that I am doing something related to tech and coding at any point in the day. I would love to apply my immense passion, ambitious drive, and creative problem solving skills on a team in a professional environment. In my four years as a full-stack developer, I have worked solo as freelancer, but am working hard to change that!
