André Ruffert

Crafting resilient, user-friendly software for the modern web.

Report

Hi there, I'm André. 👋

I’ve been building for the Web since 2006, and I still believe the Open Web is the most powerful platform we have. I build software to last, valuing thoughtful craftsmanship above trends.

My work focuses on front-end architecture, design systems, and high-performance web applications.

For over 15 years, I’ve helped startups, international organizations, and high-traffic platforms ship scalable products used by millions. I’m product-oriented by nature. I work at the intersection of engineering, design, and business, aligning technical decisions with product strategy, and simplifying systems so teams can move with clarity and confidence.

I enjoy owning products end to end, from UI systems to backend services to CI pipelines. The most satisfying work for me is when a product feels simple on the outside because it’s well designed on the inside.

Outside of client work, I explore new technologies, share what I learn, and keep returning to the fundamentals that make the web resilient.

✌️
