The Many Hats
He's Wearing
A Quest for Architecture in Everything &
Seemingly Endless Amounts of Time
Expertise
Hi there!
So what exactly do you do for a living?
Greetings
I am a software architect, a systems theorist, a designer, an investor, a consultant, a startup advisor, a visual artist, a husband, and a devoted fan of the Oxford comma. You can find me in Cambridge, on a small peninsula North of Boston, Montreal, or in NYC.
I am really wearing many hats, and that is what this site is about.
Bartender Hat
Building some unique robotic tech to help restaurants improve margins
The Proper Orange Business Hat
This is where we take companies to scale. Best team ever!
Proper Orange
Proper Orange is comprised of a dozen business & technology experts who deliver company building as a service (CBaaS).
Each with years of C-level experience, the company’s principals never lost their passion for doing the work or the desire to delve into the nitty-gritty.
Venture Café
Advising the startup community in Cambridge
Free Advice
Venture Café in Cambridge has been my go-to spot on Thursdays for over 15 years, mostly as an in-person advisor during the mentorship program era. With that no longer in place, I now wander around, eager to assist with any business and tech inquiries folks may have.
The Funnel Hat
My engagement with the Investors Collaborative
Funnel Hat
Wearing my funnel hat as a member of the North Andover Investors Collaborative, an angel investment group in Boston. Investments include: Infinite Reality, Cyware, DemandQ, Puraclenz, Legends of Learning, Versus Games, TrueFort, Irrigreen, QSM, Yard Ventures, and Greensight.
Sleuthing Hat
What I am looking for
The Dark Side Helmet
Not technically a hat, I am not looking for these things
Not Looking For
Please don't bombard me with resumes, I would not know what to do with them. And just so we're clear, I'm not a fancy venture capitalist - I prefer to splurge on things like avocados and extra toppings.
If your business idea is in stealth mode, congrats on joining the secret agent club! Just don't expect me to crack the code. Remember, communication is key.

Review: Bob Levy
Andreas has a rare gift for finding the right technical solution that will “kill two (or more) birds with one stone,” enabling lean businesses to deliver value beyond what conventional planning methods would suggest their resources should be capable of. His blend of technical mastery, strong work ethic, artistic and creative talents makes him a technical leader I value highly and would want to include in any venture.

Camera Hat
Would love to spend more time behind the camera.
Camera Hat
If I am not extremely busy creating new things, writing code, giving advice, or coming up with new concepts, I like to devote some time to photography.
Culture Night Hat
A labor of love project to bring some culture into your home
Culture Nights
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe remarked that “One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.”
This is more or less what I am going for here. If you are interested in helping with this, let me know.
The Beret

Mina's List

Past Wizardry
Headgear worn in previous times, whether it was a triumph or a failure
Past Wizardry
In some of my previous roles, I have served as Vice President of Technology at Data Translation, Inc., managed StudioShare.org, held the position of Chief Product Officer at TourSphere (now STQRY), contributed to the development of innovative hardware at Impact Biosystems, served on the board of Sustainable Schools International, and initiated the concept for Share.Clinic during the pandemic
Review: Jarrett Collins
Andreas is entertaining and a delight to work with on a personal level, too, even though he would have every right to be a prima donna. He does an excellent job communicating expectations, is methodical and organized, and I'd place him in the top 5% of IT professionals with whom I've worked.

The Artist's Hat
My little art project known as Arbitrary Dissent
Making Some Art
For Andreas, the universe is composed of pixels, small ones, and bigger ones. In his world, the properties of life are distinct spatial resolutions, different levels of precision, and a wide range of spectral lines.
Review: Steve Bayle
Hell ... no!
So Done With All Male Panels
If you want to invite me to speak on your panel, please make sure it's not all male
Gender Balance
Why did that hat take flight? It couldn't endure the absence of women to keep it from getting swept away! If you would like me to be on your panel, please make sure it's not an all male situation.
If you don't know how to find women that can speak to any topic, check out Bobbie Carlton's wonderful organization.
This rabbit is not coming out of his hat for a while. Bad bike accident. Stay tuned.
