Optimizely OMVP, Technical Architect, Sensei, Husband, Dad

Simply put, Andy is great to work with. He has a problem solving attitude towards our partnership and someone that I've built a strong partnership with during my time at Optimizely. He's enthusiastic and has wide technical knowledge as well as a keenness to understand more about Optimizely and its' products.

Andy is a credit to Dept and a strong ambassador for their technical capabilities and ease in which they can be partnered and worked with.

I've had the pleasure of working with Andy for 7 years. He was a developer and now Head of Back End Development at DEPT, while I held positions both as a Digital Content Owner and now Solution Owner Optimizely DXP at Jotun. Andy is vastly knowledgeable in so many aspects of the technical world, be that development, infrastructure, solution architecture or approach to implementations.

He worked with implementations and migrations for us both on the Tridion platform and lately Optimizely, also the transition from the former to the latter. Not only is his immense technical skillset and solution oriented approach much appreciated and valued, but he is also a very nice guy, always with a smile and calm demeanor that makes him a great person to work with.

Andy is an exceptional colleague, he’s kind, funny, infinitely patient and always willing to help, teach and guide others. Andy also is an asset to company culture. Despite the demands of his role he takes personal time to help promote inclusivity by giving recommendations on activities for the staff social events that ensures all employees will feel welcome and encouraged to attend.

Andy also has hosted pub quizzes in the office and is a fantastically engaging and entertaining presenter. I’ve worked with Andy for over 6 years, holding him in very high regard, not just as a colleague but as a great friend too!

I had the pleasure of working closely with Andy at DEPT during the Jotun project. As a Tech Lead/Architect, Andy consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and technical prowess.

Andy’s proficiency with the .NET & Optimizely tech stack is truly commendable. His ability to tackle complex technical challenges and find elegant solutions was invaluable to the success of our project. Whether it was explaining intricate technical concepts to the team or collaborating with stakeholders, Andy always maintained clarity and professionalism.

His problem-solving abilities are unmatched. Andy approaches challenges with a strategic mindset, breaking them down into manageable components and finding innovative solutions. As a mentor, he played a pivotal role in nurturing the growth of junior team members. His patience, guidance, and willingness to share knowledge made him an invaluable asset.

I wholeheartedly recommend him for any challenging technical leadership role.

I have had the privilege of collaborating with Andy for more than 8 years. During this time, Andy has demonstrated exceptional leadership, particularly in the face of management transitions within the Development team. His achievements during this period are a testament to his dedication and proficiency in navigating complex challenges.

Andy consistently exhibits a proactive approach, readily stepping in to address challenges and anticipate future needs. His foresight, combined with his willingness to assist others, has been instrumental in our team's success. I am grateful for Andy's unwavering support throughout our professional journey together.

In any environment, Andy's contributions would be invaluable, and I have no doubt that he will continue to excel wherever his path leads him.

I've worked with Andy for over 10 years in my capacity as a Test Analyst . In that time we have collaborated closely on a number of high profile projects. Andy is very knowledgeable and always approachable, taking the time to help other team members as and when needed. He is also highly regarded by clients.

Thank you for always bringing your best self to work. And just being Blyth. #InspirationalLeader
