About
There are coders, there are artists, and then again there are people who just can't decide. Also, insomniacs. I'm part of the last two.
My name is Razvan Negrea.
I'm a creative Fullstack Developer, Concept Artist and Illustrator, which is fancy talk for saying that I enjoy making things, moving things especially. I am a musician at heart, occasional self-proclaimed chef and a general nut for colours. Originally hailing from Romania, the land of vampires, Dracula and other such myths, I now live in the lovely city of Utrecht, NL, where I sip tea every couple of minutes and judge people on the Internet when I get the chance for it.
