He was born ca. 1282 to Demetrios Doukas Komnenos Koutroules, son of the ruler of Epirus, Michael II Komnenos Doukas, and Anna Komnene Palaiologina, the daughter of the Byzantine emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos.
By 1326 he held the post of protovestiarios and the rank of protosebastos. In 1327-1328, Andronikos was military governor of Velegrada (modern Berat). Andronikos was thereby forced to defect to Serbia, dying in exile at Prilep in 1328.
The couple had at least two daughters, the future queen-consort of Epirus Anna Palaiologina and another, unnamed daughter, who married John Angelos.
