About Andrew Woods

As a seasoned software developer, I bring a breadth and depth of knowledge and skills for creating database-driven PHP web applications. I’ve spent much of my career on the backend—from customizing CMSs like Drupal and WordPress, to using frameworks like Laravel to develop Web Applications. Previously, I organized the Pacific Northwest PHP Conference and the Seattle PHP User Group. I've spoken at multiple WordCamps, and more recently at PHP Tek. I pride myself on my ability to communicate technical ideas to non-technical people. I’m passionate about technology and creating software, and helping others do the same.
