Hi, I’m Andrew Blumenthal, a software engineer with a unique background in photography, lighting design, and creative problem-solving. Before transitioning into software development, I spent several years as a Lighting Director and Photographer, working on high-profile campaigns and collaborating with teams to bring artistic visions to life. This experience honed my ability to think critically under pressure, manage complex projects, and work seamlessly with diverse teams—skills that now shape my approach to engineering.

Driven by a passion for continuous learning and innovation, I made the leap into software development to apply my problem-solving mindset in new ways. Through rigorous study and hands-on projects, I developed expertise in full-stack development, backend architecture, and scalable applications. My experience has allowed me to create user-friendly, efficient solutions that balance technical precision with intuitive design—a skillset influenced by my background in visual storytelling.

I thrive in collaborative environments where creativity and technology intersect, and I’m always excited to tackle new challenges, optimize systems, and build solutions that make an impact. Whether it's through engineering, design, or problem-solving, I bring a thoughtful and dynamic approach to every project. Let’s connect!
