My name is Andrew Simmons, and I was born and raised in the New Orleans metropolitan area. I graduated from Louisiana State University with a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering in May 2003, and I then attended graduate school at the University of New Orleans for three semesters. I am currently looking forward to obtaining a job in Computer Engineering and obtaining professional work experience in my field.
