This is the note that is intended to explain who you are… who I am.
Who am I 🤔?
Well my Twitter profile says:
Father — Husband — Son — Brother — Friend — Proud Mentor — Curious Mentee
What Makes Me Tick?
Software architect by training…Inventor by spirit
… which is all true… but is it complete?
Derek Sivers started this idea called a “now page”, and though I haven’t updated mine in literally years, it does have some stuff that is me on it.
• inspire potential fulfillment
• I believe that doing good, inspires others to do good
• I believe that understanding, uplifting, empowering, and overall loving people is the key to true success
My LinkedIn focuses on the fact that I’m a servant leader to a product and engineering group… yep that is important to know if you want to know me I’d bet.
My GitHub shows that I used to code 😒 (want to get back to doing a little here and there soon).
Of course my personal site has way more info than anyone would ever want to know… mostly work related.
… so who is Andrew / AR3?
I’ll update this note as I have words to answer that question… in the meantime, if you’d like to chat create a note and link to one of my notes 😁 or hit me up on Twitter… Onward 🙌🏾
