Andrew Cote, Developer.

Mission

I believe that interactivity can communicate better than any other media. I am attracted to the web's omni-presence as a platform, but recognize its darwinian nature. I love working rapidly with a tight team to create apps that utilize motion, design, and meaningful interactions to deliver their central message.
