Full-Stack Developer
Andrew Stefankiv is a Technical Writer and Full-Stack Developer based in Calgary with a passion for making complex technical topics easy to understand. With hands-on experience building modern web apps using tools like React, TypeScript, and Firebase, he brings a developer’s mindset to every piece of documentation he creates.
He enjoys digging into how things work—whether it’s an API, a tech stack, or a user workflow—and turning that knowledge into clear, practical guides and tutorials. From onboarding developers to writing installation walkthroughs and API docs, Andrew focuses on content that’s accurate, approachable, and genuinely helpful.
Curious and detail-driven, he believes great documentation empowers users and supports teams by removing friction and making the path forward easier to see.
