Andy "AsWell" White

Biography

Hey there I'm Andy! My role here at Pollenizer is Platform Engineer.

I'm currently sinking my teeth into Bankio, an idea which disrupts the world of payments and banking. I also work on WaysAct. We're going to change the way the world gives to charity!

I started out in IT security, getting paid ridiculously little to stay up ridiculously late coddling servers to protect the data of banks and major financial institutions.

I went on to run my own software development business, managing a team of 7 people at peak. That journey didn't end where I hoped it would, but it was an absolutely awesome experience and taught me more than an IT degree could ever hope to (but I got one of those too, just to be sure).

I moved up to Sydney to work with a digital agency, but I kept hearing about Pollenizer everywhere I turned. So here I am!

As a tech guy, I love starting new projects and finding "the right way" to do things for a business. There's a distinct set of challenges around setting up the tech side of a new business, and it's really satisfying work.

As a business guy, I find the process of developing the core ideas and ideals to innovate and disrupt addictive. Manoeuvring a startup into a profitable and socially-progressive stance is where the fun's at.

When I'm not building great web businesses, I'll be near the water sea kayaking, bodyboarding or snorkelling, at the gym, on a dancefloor somewhere looking like a fool, at a pub somewhere drinking with mates, or at my desk at home, learning!
