Hi, I‘m Andrew.
I’m a curious, artist / software engineer who tends to ask “what if?” a lot. Those questions tend to produce half-finished prototypes. I care less about “shipping” than convincing myself that an idea could work. I was once described as “elegantly lazy.” When pushed on what that meant: one gets the sense that you choose problems because you think the solution is likely to be both elegant and very aligned with your intense laziness.
That seems about right.
Photography and sketching are additional mediums I enjoy. Sometimes I write little essays about those things. Like Patient Panda, Coliseum, or Evil Dad.
