Hi and welcome, I'm
Rares Sandu
I cook up cool stuff for the web, one pixel at a time.
I am a frontend developer enthusiastic about building apps, scripts, and web magic. My coding is all about clean, efficient work and creating accessible, user-friendly experiences. Outside of coding, I enjoy cooking and spending time with family and our two cats, who often join me during my programming adventures.
