Biography

Hi, I’m Andre Walker. I was born in Heidelberg, Germany, to two military parents, which gave me the unique opportunity to live in several countries and experience a variety of cultures that have shaped who I am today. Despite having lived in different places, I proudly call Georgia home.

I graduated from Richmond Hill High School in the Savannah area and went on to study Information Technology at Augusta University. I have a smaller sized family—my sister lives in Los Angeles, California, while my parents have settled in Harker Heights, Texas. My experiences growing up have given me adaptability, cultural awareness, and a strong drive for personal and professional growth.

Work Experience

Augusta University

While at Augusta University, I had the opportunity to work as a front-end developer, creating a club directory for student organizations. The directory provided students with information about available clubs, including who to contact, what each club was about, and how to get involved. I built this project using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and it was here that I laid the foundation for my technical skills and hands-on experience in web development.

Automatic Data Processing, Inc

During my time at ADP, I worked as an Associate Application Developer, creating demos for marketing teams to showcase to prospective clients. These demos were built in a proprietary IDE and featured a front end using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery, with a Node.js backend. Working on these projects—often hard-coded from scratch—allowed me to expand my technical skill set and gain hands-on experience in a professional setting.

Southwest Airlines

At Southwest Airlines, I work as a Senior Web Content Management Developer, leading Go-To-Market content initiatives such as sales promotions and Rapid Rewards acquisition campaigns. This role involves daily content maintenance and launches that contribute to generating $8 billion in annual revenue. During my time here, I’ve expanded my technical expertise by working with multiple CMS platforms and further refining my front-end development skills.

My Interests

Outside of work, I enjoy video games, weightlifting, watching sports, and barbecuing. I’m a proud Longhorns fan, hopeful that Arch Manning will lead us to the promised land this year, and I also support the Atlanta Falcons, San Antonio Spurs, and Atlanta Braves. Recently, I’ve been exploring more of the country through travel, with my latest adventure taking me to Arizona.
