About Me

Howdy! My name is Andy Monroe.

I'm a software developer in Chicago, currently working on the next generation of hotel software at Canary Technologies.

Outside of work, I enjoy craft beer and craft coffee, bicycles, and spending time with friends and family.

Show & Tell

Chicago Happy Hour

An idea from a party I made the next day. It's too difficult to find out when the good happy hours are, so I made a little app for keeping track. Built with Astro and hosted on Cloudflare.
