More About Andrew Goldish
Software engineer, creative writer, comparative religion devotee, historian, world traveler and native Bostonian — Andrew Goldish loves to make connections. Once a socially awkward math prodigy, Andrew is a polymath with a degree from MIT in theoretical computer science and a minor in planetary sciences.
Inspired by the camaraderie at MIT, he networks today with Boston Athenaeum, Third Factor, and the Harvard Club. He also hosts an intellectual salon in Brookline, Mass., blogs at Brookline Polymath, and serves as the community engagement coordinator.
Panoramic interests from history and spirituality to linguistics and community inspire Andrew today. He was raised in a Modern Orthodox Jewish family and finished in Jewish private school as an exceptionally gifted and highly-sensitive person (as defined by Elaine Aron). Today, Andrew seeks to help gifted and 2E persons connect with peers for encouragement and support on their unique, multifaceted journeys.
