My interest in the tech sector and programming has resulted in several pages, apps and articles that I have developed as part of my professional development. This is a way to explore different technologies or deepen the knowledge in some particular technologies I would like to know more about.

In this section I have a selection from my projects, pages and articles that I have produced throughout the years. You can filter them in these different categories.

About Me

System developer with special interest in front-end I started my career in tech after deciding to switch career from another sector, and I have never regretted it! Previously I worked in the social sector with research and evaluation. My interest in code started when I was customizing my MySpace page for my music. I found it very interesting, so I continued coding until I realized I wanted to do this full time!

My choice for learning more about technology lead me to studying computer science bachelor program at Uppsala university to get a deep and broad knowledge in the field.

As a creative person I always find ways to canalize my creativity such as music, arts and preferably combined with some tech skills as in sound technics. I have also programming as a hobby which has resulted in some apps on Google play. Beyond that I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. When possible I enjoy visiting restaurants and experiencing nice food in good company.


Technical Skills

My skills range extend from front-end to back-end development since I have extensive experience working with the entire spectrum of code. I have been working with front end development as well as full stack. The following skills will give you an idea of what my strengths and experiences are.

I also have a variety of experiences in working in teams and in smaller projects with only one to two developers. In my work I have utilized various tools for managing repositories and handling issues, including BitBucket, Azure, and GitHub. My favorite ide to use on a daily basis is Intellij Idea and I also prefer using the terminal when I use GIT.
