About Me
"Hey,"
You've seen that opener before. So let's get to it: I'm Andrew — and I build things that probably shouldn't belong in the same portfolio.
Code, systems, worlds, and the words that hold them together.
I'm Ukrainian and French, fluent across four languages — and passable in a fifth, though I wouldn't recommend it. Somewhere between the text editor and the worlds that don't exist yet, that tends to show up in the work.
This portfolio is the longer version.
Scroll down to see where that lands.
Right now I'm focused on the space where those disciplines actually overlap — where a system needs a story to make sense, or a story needs a system to hold its weight. Most people pick a lane. I've never been particularly good at that.
What I'm building toward is work that doesn't need a genre label. Games that read like literature. Narratives that function like architecture. Code that serves something larger than itself, while still having a self. In short, a vague reflection of what I embody.
The distinction, if there is one: I don't treat any of these as separate crafts. They inform and interlap each other constantly.
Their cross-contamination is usually where the most interesting work comes from, speaking from experience.
