ABOUT

About Me

I am a system developer with eight years of experience building and maintaining full-stack applications within UK local government.

My work has included backend development, frontend implementation, database design and ongoing system maintenance using C#, Python, Ruby on Rails, SQL and JavaScript. I have contributed to both new development and long-term improvement of existing systems, with a strong focus on stability, performance and maintainable code.

I regularly collaborated with developers, designers, project managers and non-technical stakeholders to translate requirements into practical, reliable solutions.

I am currently based in Tønsberg with a valid residence permit and am seeking development roles in Vestfold and the Oslo region.
