About
Hi, I’m Andrei Frandes, a developer with a strong focus on UI but a broad skillset that extends across various areas of tech. My journey
started back in high school, where I first got hooked on problem-solving through math and computer science. That curiosity grew into a
career, and I’m still as driven as ever to keep learning and building.
After completing a Full Stack Developer program with IT Career Switch, I dove into the world of front-end development and discovered
that’s where I really shine. Recently, I worked as a UI Developer at ASC Technologies where my main focus was to bring a fresh, modern
look to their user interface. I got hands-on with tools like React, TypeScript, and SCSS, and spent a lot of time translating designs
from Figma into clean, efficient code. This role taught me the importance of writing maintainable code, collaborating with larger teams,
and finding fast, effective solutions to complex UI challenges.

Beyond UI development, I have a solid understanding of core principles in software development, which helps me work effectively in
larger teams and communicate across different parts of a project. I’m a problem-solver at heart, comfortable with picking up new tools
and languages as needed, and I always look for ways to make my code more efficient and maintainable.
I’m always excited to collaborate on projects that bring creativity and smart solutions to life. I love creating beautiful,
user-friendly interfaces and contributing across the board where I can add value. If you’re interested in working together, feel free
to reach out through the form below—I’d love to hear more about your ideas!
