Andrew holds 8 concurrent executive and technical roles at CineConcerts — spanning brand strategy, web development, mobile apps, e-commerce, XR production, AI systems, video editing, and content creation — while co-founding two startups. He published peer-reviewed microbiology research before graduating high school, studied particle physics at CERN at 16, helped produce $2B+ in global box office alongside Dana Brunetti, then built the entire digital infrastructure for a company reaching 5 million fans across 48 countries. Not sequential. Simultaneous.
