Andrew Wood is the Founder and leader of the Canard Analytics Team. An Aeronautical Engineer by training, he spent a decade as a structural analyst working on Airbus aircraft and leading the structural analysis of a new wing design for a large UAV.

It was during this time that he discovered his love of programming, especially working in Python. He developed a suite of tools to perform carbon fiber composite strength design and analysis for new aircraft before branching out into web application development in the Django Python framework.
