About Andrew
Breaking into AI or advancing into more senior roles in the field is confusing because most advice online is disconnected from how hiring and real teams actually work. I have spent my career within the systems where these decisions are made. I worked during the early GPT-2 and GPT-3 era at OpenAI, helped shape personalization systems at Spotify that reach millions of users, and designed AI driven onboarding at Coinbase. Because of that experience, I understand how teams evaluate AI talent and how real AI products get built inside organizations. Today I help people navigate their next step in tech and AI with a clear strategy. Whether you are trying to land your first AI role or move into a more senior position, we focus on practical direction that aligns with how hiring actually works. In our sessions we clarify your target roles, strengthen your positioning, and build a concrete plan you can follow with confidence. If you are ready to move forward rather than stay stuck in vague advice, I would be happy to help you map the path. Check out my website: https://www.andmaverick.com/
Why do I coach?
My career has been shaped by moments when the next step was not obvious. I had to break into competitive roles without a clear map, and the guidance I received along the way changed the trajectory of my life. Because of that experience, I know how difficult big transitions can feel when you are navigating them alone. Today I coach people who want direction instead of noise. Whether someone is trying to break into AI, move into a more senior role, or reposition their career, my goal is to help them move faster and with more clarity than I did. When someone is ready to put in the work, I help them turn uncertainty into a clear path forward.
