Full-Stack Software Engineer

Andrew M. Petersen

I build practical web apps and internal tools that help people work faster.

I focus on clean user experiences, dependable features, and software that solves real business problems instead of just looking good in a screenshot.

About

A Developer Who Understands People and Process

I build full-stack web applications with a focus on clear user experiences, maintainable code, and practical business value. My work includes internal tools, customer-facing forms, marketing sites, and interactive apps.

Before moving deeper into software engineering, I worked in sales and technical support. That background helps me ask better questions, explain trade-offs clearly, and build software around real user needs instead of assumptions.

Outside of work, I spend time with my family, build woodworking projects, and get outdoors whenever I can. I like bringing that same hands-on, problem-solving mindset into the software I build.

What I Bring

A mix of engineering ability, customer empathy, and practical communication that helps teams turn messy problems into usable products.

How I Work

I care about simple interfaces, clear ownership, steady improvement, and building features that are understandable after the first version ships.

Current Focus

Deepening backend skills, improving system design judgment, and continuing to build software that solves grounded, everyday problems.

A Little More Personal

A small photo reel keeps the site human without taking attention away from the professional work above.

Let’s Talk About the Next Thing to Build

I’m open to software engineering roles, practical web projects, and conversations with teams that care about building useful products.

Based in the United States. Available for remote-friendly teams and practical web application work.
