Hi, I'm André. I've been building things for the web since 2012, starting with basic HTML and CSS and falling for it immediately.

Since then I've worked across an agile innovation firm, a global art marketplace, an intelligent fleet management platform, a software development start-up and a digital branding company. These days I split time between personal projects and client work.
