Building for the web since 2012, most of it on the front end.
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.
