About

Hello, my name is Todd Andrews, and my history of success is directly related to my extensive experience supporting organizations in achieving short/long-term goals through software development lifecycle management, workflow optimization, and dynamic leadership. What makes me stand out is my stellar record of leading complex technical projects from conception to completion using Agile methodologies, implementing strategic plans, and designing control structures. I am proficient in spearheading key decisions regarding product designs, analyzing functional / non-functional testing requirements, and resolving prompt issues. I am experienced in generating architecture concepts for IT systems and steering the development and implementation of flexible solutions supporting numerous functional changes. I have a genuine enthusiasm for empowering, mentoring, and managing teams during high-stress moments and times of change. Employers recognized me for optimizing product performance, expanding the development team, and delivering world-class software to the real estate industry. Please feel free to contact me at todd.andrews@sbcglobal.net with any thoughts, comments, or questions about my work; I'm always interested in making new professional acquaintances.
