About me

I am 29 year old Norwegian, currently I live in my hometown of Suldal with my girlfriend and our two cats. For about 16 years I have been doing web development, and professionally for the last 11 of them.

When working from home, in teams, along designers, using collaborative tools and task management services - that is when I am most comfortable. Fine-tuning accessible and creative user experiences using React and Typescript.

I am an expert in all of the front-end fundamentals such as HTML, CSS and Javascript, as well as React and Typescript.
