About Your Instructor:
Andrew Means
I'm passionate about solving problems. I've leveraged this passion to explore innovative solutions to uncover new areas of opportunity that were previously unknown.
My background in software development, data engineering, and data science lets me solve these problems creatively and from different angles. From recognizing pain points and collecting data about the issue to creating a developer tool that when integrated would save thousands of engineering hours on manual processes.
I am on a mission to create beautiful experiences using a synthesis of data science, creative feature engineering, and scalable design.
