I am a fullstack software developer with a passion for system design and problem solving. I especially enjoy building systems that require unique and innovative ideas to succeed.
My work accelerates when I work in teams with other likewise passionate people, where projects can grow beyond just my ideas and capabilities. As a teammember I am not afraid to take responsibility and enjoy planning and collaboration across teams to unify and bring projects to life.
My background as graphic designer, video editor and advertiser have given me a unique set of communication related skills, that enhances my ability to present and visualize complex computer science related information — to other computer scientists as well as laymen.
