Summary
Andy Artz is a pragmatic software engineer with 10+ years building back-end web systems in C#, Java/JSP, and PHP, plus solid frontend experience in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Based in Tacoma, he pairs web development with deep CAD/CAM expertise—over a decade creating 3D geometry, free-form surfaces, and CNC-ready toolpaths for instrument and product manufacturing. He runs his own ventures (Apollonian Publications and Best Guitar Parts), blending hands-on software work with OEM production and shop automation. Comfortable across databases (SQL Server, MySQL) and server administration, Andy is as likely to optimize a query or deploy a site as he is to refine a surface for efficient machining. His background in precision machining and longtime use of Haxe and legacy C/C++ gives him a practical edge when bridging software with physical production.
