# Hi, I'm Andrew! **I'm a Software Developer** *(and User Interface & User Experience Designer, Project Manager, 3D Modeler, and Graphic Designer).* For over eight years, I held the position of Managing Partner and Director of Business Operations at [JAC Creative](https://www.jaccreative.com/), a digital marketing agency in **Cleveland, Ohio** that serves hundreds of clients across 50 industries ranging from local non-profit communities to Fortune 200 corporations. In that role, I led and collaborated with a talented team of designers, developers, and marketers to deliver over 250 projects that meet our clients' diverse needs and goals. Also, I leveraged my technical expertise and strategic vision to implement cutting-edge technology and processes to enhance the efficiency and quality of all the projects I was lucky to work on. Driven by my passion for learning and innovation, I have recently changed careers and graduate from a full-stack web application development boot camp at [Tech Elevator](https://www.techelevator.com), where I acquired new skills and advanced my knowledge with these ideas and applications: - object-oriented programming ([Concepts](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/object-oriented-programming-oops-concept-in-java/), [Patterns](https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/), and [Best Practices](https://www.developer.com/java/oop-best-practices/)) - integration testing (JUnit, [Cypress](https://www.cypress.io/)) - version control ([Git](https://git-scm.com/)) - database management ([MySQL](https://www.mysql.com/), [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/)) - scripting language ([PHP](https://www.php.net/)) - back-end development ([Java](https://www.java.com/en/)) - front-end development ([JavaScript](https://www.javascript.com/), [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/)) - ui/ux design ([Figma](https://www.figma.com/), [Adobe XD](https://www.adobe.com/products/xd/learn/get-started/what-is-adobe-xd-used-for.html)) - photography ([Adobe Photoshop](https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html), [Adobe Lightroom](https://lightroom.adobe.com/libraries/2bcfd22becdf48539f44a8bd9525bd18/assets?panel=organize)) - illustration ([Adobe Illustrator](https://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator.html), [Procreate](https://procreate.com/), [Krita](https://krita.org/en/)) - layout ([Adobe InDesign](https://www.adobe.com/products/indesign.html)) - css ([LESS](https://lesscss.org/), [SASS](https://sass-lang.com/), [TailWind](https://tailwindcss.com/)) - content management systems ([WordPress](https://wordpress.org/), [HubSpot](https://www.hubspot.com/), [Joomla](https://www.joomla.org/), [Drupal](https://www.drupal.org/), [Wix](https://www.wix.com/), [SquareSpace](https://www.squarespace.com/), [Shopify](https://www.shopify.com/)) - 3d packages ([Blender](https://www.blender.org/), [Gravity Sketch](https://www.gravitysketch.com/), [SketchUp](https://www.sketchup.com/)) I am eager to apply my creativity and problem-solving abilities to create *engaging* and *impactful* software solutions that will shape the future of technology. **Currently**, I am looking for an opportunity to join a dynamic, forward-thinking organization that values collaboration, diversity, and excellence. #open-to-work #software-development #full-stack-developer ![[about-me.png]] ## [[0.1 About Me]] Learn more about my history, my favorite foods, and why I'm obsessed with minimalism, vr/ar, and input devices. #minimalism #vr #ar #keyboards #mice #steno #controllers [[0.1 About Me|Learn More About Me]] ![[experience.png]] ## [[0.2 Experience]] Explore my professional experience in full-stack software development, user interface, user experience, project management, 3D, and graphic design. #software-development #ui #ux #project-management #3d #graphic-design [[0.2 Experience|View My Profession Experience]] ## [[0.3 Education]] It wouldn't be fair to say I learned this all myself without the help of these great institutions, mentors, and classmates. #tech-elevator #kent-state-university #cuyahoga-community-college #polaris-career-center [[0.3 Education|View My Education History]] ![[skills.png]] ## [[0.4 Skills]] While my main focus is in software development, I've had the pleasure to grow my skills in many different fields *(that sometimes come in handy when working with other teams)*. #ai #prototyping [[0.4 Skills|Explore My Growing Skillset]] ![[contact.png]] ## [[0.5 Connect]] Currently, I'm looking for a position in Northeast Ohio where I can grow my skills in the tech industry , while still contributing with my 10+ experience in design.
