Thanks for reading! I'm Avand.
I’ve been working on the web for over a decade and am passionate about building great products.
My last job was with Airbnb, where I focused on internal products
that helped teams measure the quality of the software they were building. I also built internal tools for employees
to stay more connected, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Before that, I was lead engineer at
Mystery Science, the #1 way in which science is taught in U.S. elementary school classroms.
For a while, I also taught with General Assembly, teaching aspiring developers
the basics of front-end web development.
I was born in Boston, grew up in Salt Lake City, and spent many years living in Chicago. Now, I call San Francisco my home
and Mariposa my home away from home.
I enjoy the great outdoors and absolutely love music and dance. Cars have been an lifelong obsession of mine,
especially vintage BMWs and Volkswagens. I’m the proud owner of a 2002 E-250 Sportsmobile van,
and he and I have enjoyed many trips to beautiful and remote parts of the West Coast to create good vibes.
What can I do for you?
