01Open source

Both started as tools I needed on client work and grew into libraries other developers use. They are TypeScript, zero-dependency and documented for humans and for AI agents.

scrollvars

Scroll-driven animation, the cheap way.

MIT

Tiny scroll-driven animation engine: one requestAnimationFrame loop in, CSS variables out. Zero dependencies, React layer optional, and the page stays fully visible if JavaScript never loads. Every animation on this site runs on it.

@aduptive/instagram-scraper

Public Instagram data, no login.

Zero-dependency TypeScript library for fetching public Instagram profiles, posts and media without authentication. Built-in retries and a sliding rate limit keep your IP out of trouble.

04About

Andrea Scarpello, portrait
Belo Horizonte, Brazil

I am from Enna, in the middle of Sicily, and I started building for the web in 2008, knocking on the doors of restaurants and small hotels with a notebook and a PHP site to offer. Eight years in Milan agencies followed, where I discovered that an interface can look great and still feel wrong. Fixing that gap, the space between a design and how it behaves in the browser, is what I have been doing ever since.

In 2020 I moved to Brazil: five years in Rio de Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte since 2025. Today I lead front-end and full-stack work at FutureBrand, ship open source on npm, and help other developers grow. My approach is user-centered: accessibility, performance and clean code are not extras, they are the job.

Away from the keyboard I am usually chasing music, spearfishing along the Brazilian coast or simply outside. That balance is what keeps the work sharp.
