I'm an inventive full-stack developer focusing on easy-to-use software. I understand the challenges of modern development and excel at finding solutions to unique problems.
About
In my opinion, a website or other software needs to work properly before being released.
This is why I always test the code relentlessly before release, there is nothing more infuriating than a feature not working properly for an end user.

Projects
This website, a very simple webpage created with html, js, and CSS. The site also features Bootstrap and a dark mode switch.
A website created with Wix to ensure others without technical expertise can edit the site as well if need be. The main goal of the site is to communicate with parents, members, and potential new members. The site has been SEO optimized and uses google analytics.
I've set up and administer G-suite for Spanarna. G-suite is used to collaborate on different projects and store them for future reference, as well as internal and external communication via email and Google Meet (came in handy during Covid)
Currently working on re-building Spanarna's website with React and CMS integration for content update. A web store will also eventually be added.
Education
Vocational qualification in Information and Communications Technology at Prakticum. Essentially Full-stack web development with some networking, 3D modeling, and server maintenance on the side.
In addition to my studies at Prakticum, I also completed the matriculation exams (Math, English, Swedish, Finnish) to achieve a double qualification. I was one of only 2 out of ~20 students to complete both within the set timeframe.
Experience
I've been active in Spanarna scouting organization since 2013 and acted as a scout leader since 2019. Currently, I'm elected equipment trustee ie. responsible for gear, transportation, apartment, and the Website. Additionally, I'm in charge of setting up and maintaining G-suit to improve collaboration and communication both internally and externally. Spanarna's website can be found here.
I've been out on "learning on the job" three times, each spell spanning 7 weeks. I was working at Handelshögskolan Haken's IT department, during my stays at Hanken, I helped develop a local development environment with Docker, WSL2, and Drupal 8 as well as working on implementing new features and patching bugs on their Drupal website (using mostly PHP).
