What I do

Frontend Development

I've built projects using React, NextJS, and TypeScript. Material UI, Styled Components, CSS Modules, and Bootstrap are the styling tools I've used the most often.

Backend Development

I've built several full-stack apps so far. Two of them used Python/Flask, and the others are written with Node/Express. PostgreSQL is the database tool I'm currently most familiar with, but I would love to learn others, including NoSQL databases. I've built my own RESTful APIs as well!

Testing

Unit tests are built into all of my projects these days. I’ve used React Testing Library and Jest with Node/Express, and Python’s unittest module for testing Flask applications.

Hi, I'm Andrea. Thanks for visiting!

I am a full-stack web developer who used to work in professional certification testing. A self-starter and avid learner, I have worked 100% remotely for most of my career.

I adore cats, and I love to vacation in national parks. I didn't drink coffee at all until a few years ago, but now I don't know how I lived without it!

Looking to hire a web developer?
