Profile
31-year-old full stack software developer with 8 years of experience in modern web technologies, fintech, e-commerce solutions and API development. A programming language polyglot but with a strong preference for JavaScript/TypeScript.
I hold a bachelor's degree in software development from the IT University of Copenhagen and I'm a multimedia designer from The Copenhagen School of Design and Technology.
Skillset
Software Engineering / Development
Used to different software development settings, alone and on cross-functional teams with the typical daily standup and (bi)weekly planning/retrospectives, with issue tracking in tools like Linear or Trello.
Comfortable taking the lead on projects, delegating tasks and aligning with stakeholders. I have a strong focus on the entire development process, from initial scoping and planning to final deployment and maintenance.
Backend
Experience with API and system integrations in different languages and frameworks. I have a preference for Typescript (Nest.js or Hono) or Laravel/PHP for large-scale collaborative projects and Golang for personal projects. Additional commercial experience in C#/.Net (ASP.NET Core).
Most work is in containerized environments using Docker through the entire pipeline; continuous delivery from local to staging to production. Experience with multiple cloud providers and infrastructure as code, typically AWS and/or GCP with Terraform.
Frontend
Deep understanding of accessible and semantic HTML and clean, well-structured CSS combined with advanced interactive JavaScript/TypeScript.
I usually work with an SSR/SSG framework like Next or Nuxt for React or Vue, respectively. I have extensive experience in classic React SPAs with Vite, typically with Tailwind for styling.
I am used to working directly with designers in collaborative tools like Figma and am quite comfortable with these tools myself. Hands on experience with design adjustments and rapid prototyping, and with a deep understanding of UX and accessibility.
