<h1>I'm Andrew Harrison</h1>
<p>A web application developer living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Technically my degree(s) are in Computer Science and Software Application Programming, but in truth I'm a web focused developer. Whether it's static, dynamic database driven, or mobile, most of my work is delivered on the web. I enjoy creating fonts, learning new skills, and working on open source projects.</p>

<blockquote>I'm fast learner with a deep understanding of programming. Learning a new language is usually more syntactical than functional. Good personal skills with the ability to explain complex computer logic to anyone (usually with diagrams). I Enjoy the open source movement because it facilitates the study of other peoples code, logic, and algorithms to gain deeper understanding and perspective of your own.</blockquote>
