A developer who sweats the details.

Full-stack web developer with four years of experience building products people actually use - and one persistent galaxy that never sleeps.

I'm André, a full-stack web developer with four years of experience shipping web applications across the stack. I've worked on SaaS platforms, dashboards, content systems, and a real-time strategy MMO that runs around the clock.

My happy place is the seam between a clean backend and a delightful frontend: a well-modeled API on one side, an interface that feels effortless on the other. I write TypeScript first, lean on strong types, and obsess over the parts of an app most people never consciously notice.

When I'm not building client work, I'm building Vexara - a one-person galaxy that taught me more about systems, scale, and shipping than any job description could.

  1. Full-stack, end to end

    Four years owning features from database schema to polished UI. Comfortable across the whole request lifecycle - and happiest when no part of it is a black box to me.

  2. Architecture I can defend

    I reach for clear boundaries, typed contracts, and code that the next person (often future-me) can read at a glance. Clever is cheap; maintainable is the whole game.

  3. Real-time when it counts

    WebSocket-driven, server-authoritative systems are home turf - most visibly in Vexara, where a live galaxy ticks 24/7 for real players.

  4. Interfaces that feel alive

    Motion with intent, states that respond, and the small details that make software feel hand-crafted rather than assembled. The kind of polish you feel before you notice it.

◆ FLAGSHIP PROJECT

Vexara - My Flagship Project

Vexara is a persistent, browser-based 4X strategy MMO set in a sci-fi galaxy. Players build empires, conquer planets, and engage in real-time strategy warfare across a living world that never resets and never stops.

Your nexus at a glance - resources, buildings, and live queues.

Your nexus at a glance - resources, buildings, and live queues.

A single persistent galaxy, shared by real players, running 24/7. There are no resets and no pay-to-win - just your nexus, a three-resource economy, and the cold math of empire.

Under the hood it is a real-time simulation: travel times are real, resources tick continuously, and every raid, scout, and conquest is resolved server-side and replayed blow-by-blow. Built and shipped solo, end to end.
