Andrew Hamlin is the Director of Software Development at Gozynta, Inc. He is a software engineering leader focused on Software Craftsmanship, Distributed Systems, and Software Delivery best practices. He has worked with multiple technology start-ups over the past twenty years.

Prior to entering software development, Andrew's early career was in music. He spent a few years as a freelance audio engineer, eventually running his own recording studio and independent record label in the mid-90s at the dawn of digital music production.

Digging deeper into computer technology led him to discover a newly released little operating system called Linux, around 1995. After spending too many nights playing "adventure", and compiling XFree86 on Slackware from dozens of floppy disks, he switched careers from audio engineering to software engineering.
