About
Hi, I'm Javier, though I prefer Andrew! My passion lies in creating things that make people's lives better.
Currently, I work as a Software Engineer at Solo, where I develop solutions that make legal help accessible to anyone facing debt collection lawsuits.
I'm also the founder of Education Academy, where I've pioneered hundreds of solutions that democratize learning for thousands across Texas, including partnering with the largest math and science organizations in Texas.
Beyond my professional work, I'm interested in plant-based bodybuilding, gaming, English bulldogs, electronic music, anime, and constant learning. Thanks for visiting!
