About Me
I'm Andrew, based in Singapore, working across data science, automation, and programming. After more than 10 years leading regional development and infrastructure projects across Asia, Latin America, and Africa, I completed a Specialist Diploma in Data Science (AI focus) and am now building toward AI operations and automation-focused roles. My background spans IT support and infrastructure consulting, urban planning and development management, and hands-on software building, from Power Platform apps to Python tooling to interactive front-end projects. I like solving operational problems with automation and AI, and I learn best by building real things end to end.
I spent a decade planning cities. Now I build the systems that run them, and everything else, better. Andrew
