About
Hi, I'm Andrew. I'm a Salinas Valley local passionate about tech, privacy, and keeping things under your own control.After several years working in Silicon Valley, including mechatronics engineering at Seagate and software engineering at blockchain.com, I came back home to focus on helping people right here in the community with practical, reliable solutions.I enjoy tinkering with electronics, 3D printing, building web apps, and creating independent, secure systems. That same hands-on engineering mindset goes into my work. Whether it's a quick computer fix or home/small office network setup, or putting together a custom project like an IoT device, automation tool, private web app, or specialized integration, I bring real engineering know-how to make it happen reliably and locally.Got a tech issue, a custom idea, or something in between? Reach out, let's chat.

From workflow automation scripts and AI-assisted integrations (connecting tools like ChatGPT to your systems), to sensors/connected devices, 3D-printed prototypes, full custom web apps, or secure automations deployed on your terms. Gain efficiency, reduce manual work, and keep full control over your data and processes.
"Thank you so much, everything is running smoothly now and there haven't been any issues at all. I'll let you know if anything pops up. We had an audit recently and the camp captain who oversees all 71 camps looked over the overtime app you put together... he loved it! Really appreciate the work. "
