About
I'm Andreas, a software engineer from Alkmaar studying in Amsterdam. What keeps me hooked is how fast this field moves, and working out which new tools are actually worth building on. At Anchiano I help rebuild a product that field teams use every day, and with Signaly I learned what it takes to keep our own product running: migrations, payments, deploys and fixing things when they break.
