Hi, I'm Andrei

I'm currently 43 years old, living in Timișoara, Romania.

I've been designing & developing websites and web apps since 2000 and went through all the stages of web development: from HTML3/jQuery to HTML5/ES6/TS and beyond.

Eclectic Code Designer

I like to think of myself as an eclectic code designer.

Eclectic because I don't follow a specific technology or a school of thought in a dogmatic way. Instead, I apply various principles, practices, and technologies that actually suit the problem I'm facing, in a pragmatic fashion.

Code designer has a double meaning. First of all, I'm very keen about code design and maintaining a clean code base. Additionally, I'm also a hybrid between a designer and a developer. Besides being a software engineer working with code, I also have a strong passion for aesthetics, animations, structure, interaction, and everything related to design in a broad sense.

UI Engineering

I'm currently working as an User Interface Developer switching between web and mobile.

My everyday battles revolve around Clean Code Design, User & Developer Experience, UI Interaction & Design, and fighting software entropy through constant Refactoring, Automated Testing, Code Reviews, and Team Collaboration.

Community involvement

Since 2013, I've been deeply involved in the local JavaScript community, co-organizing tim.js, a monthly meetup dedicated to the entire JavaScript ecosystem.

Together with an wonderful team, we're organizing revo.js, an annual technically focused, not-for-profit, and community driven JavaScript conference.

I'm also an Ambassador of JSHeroes, a must-attend JavaScript conference organized by wonderful people in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

Last, but not least, I enjoy sharing my knowledge during meetup and conference talks, hands-on workshops and trainings, or in written articles.

Backing & Support

I'm currently supporting with recurring donations several organizations that managed to achieve trully beneficial outcomes. This requires a collective effort and I'm thrilled to be their backer:

Wikipedia for providing open and free information for our entire civilisation. I'm an occasional supporter since 2016 and a regular donor since Mar 2023.
Daruieste Viata for building a childrens' hospital, something that not even the romanian authorities are capable to do. I'm their backer since Oct 2018.
Recorder for their trully meaningful press investigations and honest journalism. I've been supporting them since Feb 2024.
