My name is Andrew, but I also go by Drew for short.
I'm currently living in the San Francisco Bay Area and working at FireHydrant. I've recently came back from a work sabbatical in Japan, where I attended a Japanese language school for 4 months. If you would like to get in touch, I prefer email as a method of communication. Here are some things I've written over the years.
