Andrew Saunders
Crafting purpose driven
experiences that inspire & engage.
I work with brands globally to build pixel-perfect, engaging, and accessible digital experiences that drive results and achieve business goals.
About Me
Hey there! I'm Andrew, a 26-year-old corporate developer by day and freelancer by night, based in the city of Johannesburg, Gauteng.
The Developer Life
I code for a living and as a hobby – because apparently, I haven't had enough of semicolons and curly braces during work hours. I'm genuinely passionate about learning new and old technologies alike, whether that's diving into the latest JavaScript framework or appreciating the elegance of time-tested solutions.
Challenge Accepted
I enjoy a challenge, whether that's architecting a complex solution or beating your high score in Tetris (seriously, try me). New projects excite me – there's something magical about that blank repository and infinite possibilities.
