Hey There.
I'm Andrew Coleburn.
About Me
I'm a software engineer, writer, and all-around nerd, currently based in Durham, NC.
I'm a former theatre kid who got halfway through an MFA in Acting before deciding against a life in show business. Since then, I've finished a Masters in Theatre, worked as a consultant in NYC, joined a talent-acquisition firm in Raleigh, NC, and found the time to start teaching myself how to code.
Spending 10 hours a day cold-calling potential job seekers made me realize I wanted to do work that resulted in actually making something. So I enrolled as a student in the Thinkful Engineering Immersion program to learn how to make kick-ass software.
If you're looking for a partner on a project, hit me up! Let's work together and build cool stuff.
What I'm Doing
Currently, I am a Developer and Consultant with Bitovi.
