Bio

As a kid, I quickly discovered the creative potential of computers and started creating my own games at age 12.

In a way, I actually became a developer by accident. Initially, I thought I'd only pursue art and leave coding to the "nerds", but while in high school, I ended up loving code, and got obsessed with learning the Unity game engine. After high school, I attempted to start a freelance design business but struggled to make it profitable, realizing the importance of business skills in the process.

Today, I'm a skilled designer + programmer with experience working in startups, and pursuing a B.Sc. in Design & Innovation at the Technical University of Denmark.

Experience

At age 16, I worked in an SMMA doing "monkey work" like sorting SEO keywords. At 17, I worked for two years in a local animal park before quitting in 2017 to focus on my last year of high school.

In 2019, I worked part-time as a cold canvas phoner while studying web development. Same year, I got my first developer-related job at Danguitar. The company was still a startup, so I wore many hats, such as preparing parcels, creating content for advertisement, and managing the product catalog in their CMS. I started automating repetetive tasks with Python, which led to my first professional development job: creating a performance monitor for the customer service department.

In 2020, I started working for Mads Sastakauskas Østergaard, as his only employee and grew exponentially as a developer with him as my mentor. We were both very interested in serverless and SSG with React back then.

In the summer of 2022, his company merged with our biggest client, Clevertrack (a startup), who immediately employed me, and that's where I'm still working today, building their web app and creating internal tools for automation.
