I'm Andrew Mussey, a Software Engineer at the radiology software company Sirona Medical. I'm based out of North Carolina, but work remotely with a team of developers across the United States. I've been writing code for more than 10 years, focusing mainly on web technologies. While my knowledge-base spans the full software stack, I prefer to work behind the scenes on operations and back-end development.
I graduated from Virginia Tech in 2013 with a bachelor's in Computer Science. In that same year, I joined the Rackspace Cloud Control Panel team in Blacksburg, VA, focusing primarily on back-end development, infrastructure maintenance, and developer enablement. During the fall of 2015, I relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area to work with Fitnet and be a part of OrangeFab's Startup Incubator. From there, I joined Samba TV where I was the lead developer on the Capture Backend Team. In 2021, I departed Samba TV to join the Doma Comms Team.
On the side, I work as a freelance videographer for local startups, non-profits, and the standup comedy community. Notable clients include the coding group Let's Code Blacksburg! and the Smart Beginnings Reading Hour. Previously, I worked with Virginia Tech Television producing the sketch comedy series The Sketch.
If you'd like to contact me, I can be reached via direct message over Twitter or by email at "me@" this domain. More info about my recent work can be found on my LinkedIn here.

Projects
Get Drunk Not Fat getdrunknotfat.com
During the spring of 2012, I began working on an app to list the calorie counts in various drinks. During the summer of 2012, I teamed up with the creator of the website Get Drunk Not Fat, and that app became the official app for the website. It is currently available for $0.99 on both iOS and Android, and has sold tens of thousands of copies.

An open source dashboard for Rackspace's Cloud Monitoring. It allows users to see the statuses of the alerts on all of their cloud properties. More info can be found on Github and on the announcement blog post.
Corey's Barn Benefit github.io
After an tragic accident during the summer of 2014, Corey Brown - a friend of a friend - ended up in the hospital with an extensive medical bill. To help pay back some of the bills, a benefit concert was held in his honor. The entire show was recorded, and in the following months, edited together. I constructed this website and pay-what-you-want donation system to allow people to continue donating to receive a downloadable copy of the show. In total, the benefit concert helped the family raise over $6000.
