Hi 👋 I'm Andrew

When I was a junior in college I started a company with two of my best friends. We grew it to 10 team members and over $1M in revenue before selling it to GreyNoise Intelligence in June of 2022.

Clients loved me:

"Andrew is a pompous penny pinching hipster with funny socks." -former NSA analyst and client

I spent a year working at GreyNoise, first as the interim product leader and then as a product manager. While there I helped to rebuild their product team, hired an experienced VP of Product, implemented a new pricing model, and managed the development of multiple complex, technical features.

I build companies because I like the autonomy, the creative challenge, and the financial upside. I want to make a good living, leave the world a little better than I found it, and have as much free time as possible to pursue passions outside of work.

Right now my main focus is building MetaMonster - SEO spider software that finds and fixes issues for you. My goal is to get it to a point where it's profitable, and can sustain me and my co-founder so we can work on it full time.

Early in 2024 I launched ChartJuice, a no-code chart builder and chart-to-image API. ChartJuice is currently on the back burner, but I have plans to convert it to freemium and test building integrations.

I'm also doing a little bit of product consulting to pay the bills, both on my own and through my friend's agency Miscreants. I help clients interview users, scope new products, and hire and manage designers and engineers.

When it comes to free time, I'm typically rock climbing, backpacking, mixing cocktails, working with a local robotics team, or hanging out with my partner and our two cats.

I'm not a morning person.

But I did once spent two nights on an island with no food.

I am obnoxiously opinionated, but most of my opinions are loosely held. At the moment I passionately believe that...

Balance is the key to life.
We all have a responsibility to protect and lift up the most vulnerable in our communities.
Great culture is key to building great companies.
Agile isn’t the only way to build products (but it is the best way most of the time).
Capitalism has a lot of flaws, but is better than any other system we've found yet.
People are mostly good and the world is better today than it ever has been.
Dark mode is overrated.
If you have to use tooltips to guide users through your onboarding process your onboarding sucks.
You can never have too many lists.
