Andrei Kashcha is a seasoned front-end-focused software engineer with 14 years of experience based in Seattle, known for building polished, interactive visualizations and developer tools. With an MS in Applied Mathematics, he combines strong algorithmic thinking (A*/bi-directional pathfinding, performance-minded object pooling) with a designer’s attention to UX across projects like VivaGraphJS, npmgraph, and city-roads. A prolific open-source maintainer (github.com/anvaka), his work spans SVG/WebGL rendering, pan/zoom interactions, and scalable graph visualizations, and includes contributions to the widely used three.js examples. He favors measurable UX improvements—search/typeahead, responsive behavior, SVG export, and accessibility tweaks—and often bridges the gap between core algorithms and delightful front-end experiences.
