Senior Frontend Developer

Stockholm, Sweden
At the age of 13 I got my first computer and immediately I was hooked. All my spare time was spent in chats, on computer games and on building GIF flooded websites. ~Twenty years later, the chats and games were replaced by the love for traveling and exploring the world, but the passion for building websites remained and seem to never be growing old.
I’ve been working professionally as a frontend developer, full-time since 2008.
My biggest passion lies within JavaScript, CSS and HTML. React and Vue are two favorites and are also what I’ve primarily been working with since 2017.
I love to build semantically correct, responsive websites and apps, always accessible on all devices, for everyone – with or without a disability. I am passionate about a11y and SEO, I have a good, detailed eye for design. I strive to write clean, DRY, high-quality code. I am always eager to help improving the way-of-working and optimizing working methods to keep the workflow fast and smooth with as little obstacles as possible. On a UX / backend scale, I enjoying being closer to the UX than backend.
In 2014 I started working remotely as I relocated to Berlin. The first four years I kept my employment in Stockholm and was the only person in a large company who was working remotely. I continued doing so after going freelance in 2018 and even after moving back to Stockholm in 2021. I highly value remote work due to the focus and productivity it brings me compared to working in an office.
Characteristic for me is that I’m very positive, energetic and honest person. I’m goal and solution oriented and love problems to solve. I am very stubborn and never give up until I reach what I want. I’ve got excellent communicating skills and I like environments where speaking your mind is being encouraged. Responsibility is something I truly appreciate – I am equally comfortable in solving things on my own as I am to collaborate with different teams across the company.
A tidy code base is where I thrive. I’m a “cleaning lady”, always tidying up as I move along. Migrating “old stuff” to new modern code is something I (actually) like a lot. I try to think in a holistic way, meaning not only focusing on what’s best for the user and developer, but also for the team and company as whole. These characteristics ensure that my clients are guaranteed all my drive and devotion, leading to pragmatic end results of great quality within set deadlines and milestones.
