Bio
I am an experienced software architect and developer that has been professionally developing and launching solutions since 2010. Most of the projects have been .NET based with different frontend and web technologies - in later years mostly React/TypeScript - hosted on-premise and in the cloud.
I have been working roles such as solution architect and backend developer helping Nordic companies launching new applications as well as maintaining and upgrading existing ones. These clients have been active in various industries and sectors, ranging from high-street fashion to plumbing wholesalers targeting both consumers and businesses, which has been of great benefit in my understanding of widely disparate businesses. An example of a successful extensive project has been architecting and leading the development of an e-commerce solution for a leading Swedish wholesaler targeting multiple sites, markets and currencies with a product catalog numbering SKUs in millions and a yearly turnover of billions (swedish kronor).
Having a master's degree in engineering and computer science I find that I have a sound base to stand in all work situations I have encountered so far. I am also keen on staying up to date with the fast pace of technology and the IT industry in general as it is not just my livelihood but an interest and passion, which helps a lot when discussing and detailing new features or roadmaps.
Living in the very south of Sweden just outside of Malmö I am open to opportunities requiring physical presence in adjacent regions, with cities such as Malmö, Lund, Landskrona and Helsingborg. With limited on-site occasions, metro Copenhagen and Gothenburg are also options. While I prefer the dynamics of hybrid work, remote work is also possible. However, relocation or weekly commute is not an option for me.
My mother tongue is Swedish and I am fluent in English.
