Andrew Arendt is a founder and software engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building practical automation and tooling from Madison, Wisconsin. He ran a long-standing freelance engineering practice (Void Star Technology Consulting) before launching Nerds on the Ground, combining client-focused delivery with product-minded thinking. Early work designing wood trusses taught him to translate domain constraints into reliable software, exemplified by automating quote generation with Excel and Python. Comfortable across scripting and systems, he emphasizes pragmatic solutions that reduce manual work and accelerate operations. Andrew blends entrepreneurial grit with a lifelong passion for programming, often applying network and systems fundamentals learned through Cisco Networking Academy to real-world problems.
