Hello! I'm Andrew; I'm a software infrastructure engineer working on Vitess for Planetscale. Before that I worked at Slack on the datastores team, first as a Database Reliability Engineer, and then primarily on Vitess itself. I'm also a Vitess maintainer.

A teammate once referred to me as a Professional Database Mercenary.

When I'm not working on databases, you can find me tinkering on a side project (usually in Go), or out for a run, reading a book, or playing a video game (usually by FromSoftware).
