Hi, I am
Andrew Vicencio
- Full Stack Developer
A relatively new-grad from Carleton University with 3 years of full time experience in Full Stack Web Development.
About me
Hi, I'm Andrew and I've always been in love with tech. Learning to make games in Adobe Flash in High School was the beginning of my love affair with code.
I just wanted to learn more and teach people about what I've learned. In undergrad, I was able to co-found the Carleton Systems and Computer Engineering Society. After my brief stint in teaching, I got a bit antsy to learn more while in undergrad so I started studying part time and worked full time at a few start ups.
After school, I was fortunate enough to travel and see part of the world. Seeing the uniqueness of the world and different ways of thinking made me reflect on my career. Since then, I've tried freelance work and taken many online design courses.
I'm currently looking for full time work, in design, frontend, backend, or all of the above. I'm passionate about physical and mental health, travel, green technologies, and design.
