Andrew Bush - Mobile Development and Giving Back to Community

In today's episode, Dan and Bekah talk to Andrew Bush, a Mobile Engineer Specializing in React Native. One of the updates we've made to our site is to have tags on our members page to indicate what volunteer roles they have. Andrew is one of our Monthly Challenge team leads, and he shared with us his experiences helping to facilitate the challenges, keeping our community motivated, and the processes we go through. We also go into what it's like to be a mobile developer, and the learning path he's been on throughout his career.

About Andrew

Andrew is a mobile developer specializing in React Native based out of Wisconsin in the US. He has been developing professionally for 3 years and has really found his passion in mobile apps and accessibility. Being legally blind himself, he recognizes the need for inclusion in software development so that EVERYONE can use the applications we create.

Outside of his professional life, Andrew is a dedicated amateur runner with a love for the sport that rivals his love of Swedish Fish candy. You can also find him participating as a co-lead of the Virtual Coffee monthly challenges where he strives to create engagement and growth combined with the feeling of an intimate community.
