Fullstack Software Engineer

About Me

I am a self-taught fullstack software engineer and excellent problem solver, who loves to learn new things. My core strength is in the Typescript/Javascript ecosystem, but I am quite flexible with tech, having worked in Python and Golang environments as well.

Self hosted blog, newsletter, booknotes and three.js playground, where I am writing newsletters and posts on AI, web development, traveling and often experiment with real time 3D graphics in the browser.

Worked on a project at the European Space Agency to build tools for avoiding collisions of satellites with space debris. Lead the efforts to automate deployments with Ansible.

Worked at Klarna for 6 months as a Software Engineer, as part of their core browser extension team. There I built an automated browser extension testing setup with cypress and wrote the extension's notifications feature.

Worked at Softgames as a Junior Full Stack Developer. There I built an ultra flexible and scalable multiplayer server using Golang and a Typescript/RxJS client library to easily adapt to the frontend teams data requirements.
