Hi, I’m Andrew,
My name is Andrew Zancenko,
I’ve been into computers since I was about 12 — taking things apart, breaking them, and figuring out how to put them back together again. That curiosity never really went away, and it’s what led me into building software and working with technology and information security for the past 25 years.
Outside of work, I’m usually either on a tennis court (probably playing more than I should), reading a good sci-fi book, or wandering around some open-world game like Fallout. I’ve always liked the kind of worlds where you can explore, experiment, and build things — maybe that’s why I enjoy both coding and construction.
I’m also pretty handy. Over the years I’ve managed a few renovations and built quite a bit of things (indoor and outdoor)— it’s rewarding to see something take shape from just an idea or a rough sketch.
In short, I like learning, building, and creating — whether it’s through technology, stories, or wood and nails.
