He worked in his field of expertise and had extensive experience in the manufacture and installation of various structures. Before the invasion, he was a foreman in a construction company and planned to start his own production. He loved nature and fishing. During the full-scale war, the man voluntarily joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In the summer of 2022, he underwent basic military training for recruits in the United Kingdom. Later, he held the position of a rifleman. The call sign "Professor" was given to Andrii by his comrades-in-arms, as he always had answers and solutions to all the questions they asked him. "My husband was an example of how true heroes are always ready to defend others, even at the cost of their own lives. He gave his life, having so many plans and unfulfilled dreams, for us, for peace and a free Ukraine. Andrii was a kind, sensitive person, a good, loving husband. His memory will always live in our hearts," said his wife Nina. Andrii was buried in his native Ulianovka. At home, he was awaited by his parents, wife, brother, and sister. Posthumously, the military man was awarded the Order of Courage of the III degree.
