AeroToolbox Founder

Andrew is the founder and builder of AeroToolbox.com. Growing up with an unhealthy passion for all things aviation related, he studied aeronautial engineering and has spent a decade in the aerospace industry, working as a structural engineer, first on the Airbus A400M and later leading the stress analysis of a new wing design for a MALE UAV. 

It was well working as a structural analyst that he discovered his love of programming, and has now branched out into running Canard Analytics, a software design consultancy focusing on developing in Python, and specialising in data analytics, process automation, and web applications.
