I offer sessions Tuesday through Thursday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Pacific. I keep Mondays and Fridays open for client work and research so I can show up prepared for every session. My calendar tends to fill a bit in advance, so it’s best to book early if you’re planning ahead.

About Andrew

I have spent my career at the heart of applied AI, building products and systems that reach millions. I worked on the early GPT 2 and GPT 3 era at OpenAI, shaped personalization at Spotify, and designed AI driven onboarding at Coinbase. I know how teams hire and evaluate talent because I helped build the systems that do it. As a founder and strategist, I help you cut through confusion and build a clear plan for your next chapter in tech or AI. If you are trying to land your first role or step into a more senior seat, I focus on giving you direction that is practical, grounded, and aligned with how hiring really works. You will walk away with clarity, stronger positioning, and a plan you can actually follow. If you are ready to make real progress, I will help you see the path and step into it with confidence.

Why do I coach?

I coach because my entire career has been shaped by moments when the next step was not obvious. I had to break into competitive roles without a map, and the guidance I received along the way changed my life. I know how hard it is to navigate big transitions alone, and I know how quickly people grow when someone who understands the terrain walks with them. I work with people who want direction, not noise. Coaching lets me share the lessons I learned the hard way and help others move faster than I did. When someone is ready to put in the effort, I give them the clarity, structure, and support that turn potential into momentum. My goal is simple. Help people move forward with purpose and build a future that feels both possible and deeply their own.
