About me
Full-stack developer specializing in frontend technologies, with a distinctive background in linguistics and international business operations. My technical expertise includes React, TypeScript, Next.js, and modern JavaScript frameworks, complemented by proven experience at Axis Communications and 24HR digital agency.
My unconventional path from linguistics to software development has equipped me with unique advantages. Language analysis skills translate directly to code structure and syntax mastery, while cross-cultural communication abilities were refined through work across Spain, UK, and Sweden. These experiences are enhanced by problem-solving capabilities developed through managing complex language systems and technical implementations.
Recent achievements demonstrate my technical growth and adaptability. I completed the Full-stack Development program at Teknikhögskolan with top grades across all courses, successfully delivered frontend projects during internships at Axis Communications and 24HR, and effectively combined linguistic expertise with technical skills to create intuitive user interfaces and readable, maintainable code.
Currently seeking a frontend developer role where I can leverage both my technical proficiency and diverse professional background to contribute to innovative web development projects. This combination of skills positions me uniquely to bridge technical implementation with effective communication and user-centered design thinking.
