Andrei Neculaesei - Learn, grow, teach

About me

Full stack developer, with experience in both corporate and startup environments, and a taste for building cool stuff.

I’m 24 years old, born and raised in Romania. I’ve learned everything I know on my own and by working with amazing people.

Front end web development is my strongest area, as that’s what I’ve done the most in the past 4 years. I don’t limit myself in any way though, over the years I’ve worked and played with many technologies from C/C++ to PHP, C# to D, Swift, and most JavaScript related things.

JavaScript is my favourite and by far what I prefer to work with.

Work experience

I’ve been lucky to meet and work with amazing people, they’ve taught me a lot and I’m grateful for that.

Security research

As much as I enjoy building stuff, I have a hidden passion for breaking things.
