Biography
Hey there, I’m Andreas. It’s a pleasure to meet you!
I’m a graduate of Southern New Hampshire University, where I earned a B.S. degree in Business in Computer Information Technology. I also minored in Digital Media Video Production.
I enjoy programming and scripting, designing graphics (illustrations, logos, wireframes) and websites, and video editing and compositing (and just film production as a whole).
In short, I love technology, film, and design, and I’ve always been fascinated in fusing different technologies together.
I also love conversations about religion, philosophy, and politics (yes, the three main topics to stay away from).
In the limited free time I have, I enjoy being with family, catching up on what’s happening in the MCU, and going down Wikipedia rabbit trails. I also play piano and some guitar, and go on many photography journeys with my wife just for fun or to try out new technology (also for fun). Finally, I also fiddle around with my computers, experimenting with new software and different approaches to being productive (which, ironically, keeps me unproductive).
