About

Hi there! I’m André, and I like building software with intention. I care about the decisions people notice and the ones they never see: how an interface reads, how it responds, who it includes, and how much complexity the code leaves behind. I enjoy working where design and engineering meet, turning rough problems into products that feel clear, useful, and well made.

Today I work independently, often taking web products from an early idea to production. Good craft includes restraint. I want to know where an extra hour can change the experience and where the simplest solution is already the right one.

I spent eight years running Duonorth, where my work evolved from BI and digital strategy into websites and software. Development became my full-time focus in 2025, continuing a way of working I had built over years: understand the problem and make something useful.

I also build things simply because I can. Turistar started because I wanted a better way to plan my own trips. More recently, I built a self-hosted tracker for my computer science studies. Other people now use both. Few things make me happier than seeing something I made for myself become useful to someone else.

Away from the computer, I read, run, lift weights, play classical guitar, go to the beach, and am learning to juggle. I like always having something new to learn.
