Not your average bloke
Just your local friendly larrikin.
Hi! I’m Andrew, I’m a high performing professional with a love for genuine communication, automating human error away, and a really good email signature.
I’m a certified Salesforce professional, but at the end of the day the technology doesn’t matter, finding solutions to messy problems is system agnostic. I’m always up for a chat – and a good challenge.
How I work
Listening first.
I begin with an overabundance of questions, to understand the strategic goal beyond the ask.
Values forward growth.
I hold my values dear, and join teams that make a difference. I will say no to work I disagree with.
Simple beats clever but fragile.
Every time. A system nobody has to think about is a system that people trust to work everyday.
Needs a manual? It’s not finished.
A good system explains itself and speaks to the intuition of the team using it.
Be easy to work with.
I laugh loudly, always pick up my phone when it rings, and offer my ear to anyone that wants it.
Build it, and get out of the way.
I like to make myself superfluous as soon as possible, then I move on to the next challenge.
What I’ve built
Turned a legal quoting nightmare into a two-click process
Salesforce Integrations
A capital-heavy business needed watertight quotes: locked-down legal language, zero manual document assembly, and years of contract history tracked without losing the thread. I linked two systems through a data structure built to hold all that cleanly — fast quotes, built-in compliance, and a contract book the C-suite can actually trust.
Built flows to liberate high-performing salespeople
Salesforce Automations
The problem: a pre-sales process that needed sign-off from multiple teams and left a trail of internal emails. Good salespeople were burning hours chasing approvals instead of selling. The solution: custom Salesforce flows that guide the request end-to-end. The outcome: better data, faster approvals, more time in front of customers.
Rebuilt a WordPress e-commerce store
Digital Marketing
When I joined Playlab Theatre, a not-for-profit playwright incubator, their web presence had long sat in the too-hard basket — understandable for a budget-constrained org. So I rolled up my sleeves, got into the systems myself, and refreshed WordPress, Mailchimp, and the integrations holding it together. Fresh air for an ageing tech stack.
Fun Facts
Bit of a playwright and poet.
I speak a little bit of Mandarin.
Currently plotting a move to Poland.
The story so far
Early 2000s
Spent my youth in rural Queensland, in a small town called Nanango where I grew up with a strong sense of community.
2019-2022
Jumped in with both feet: writing plays and short stories, producing work, and picking up an interactive theatre award along the way.
Joined Playlab Theatre in marketing and digital systems, building solutions and shipping physical stories to classrooms that needed them.
2023-2025
Pivoted into an analytical role on Uniti Group’s Sales Operations team, skilled up on Salesforce fast, and became the team’s go-to subject matter expert.
Became the go-to guy when someone had an idea, “Hey Andrew, could Salesforce help us with…?”
2026
Awarded the Huayu Enrichment Scholarship to live and study Mandarin in Taiwan. Fell in love with Taiwanese pineapple, and absorbed as much of the island as I could.
Future
Searching for a high performing team where I can make a difference building systems that will outlast me.
Maybe I could be part of your story?
One of my most fun achievements: circumnavigating Taiwan on a push bike. Why? Because the best things to do are the most challenging.
