Hi, I’m Kaspar L. Palgi, a London-based senior full-stack programmer with over two decades of experience delivering robust software, APIs, and scalable systems. I’ve lived and worked across London, the Canary Islands, and Estonia, which gives me a unique, cross-cultural perspective on building efficient teams and products. I’m passionate about rapid, secure, and bug-free delivery, architecture that scales, and mentoring others to write clean, testable code. I enjoy exploring TDD, pair programming, and Agile practices, and I’ve written a backend-focused book for Packt Publishing. I’m happy to discuss projects, contribute hands-on, and collaborate with your team to design, implement, and optimize backend, API, and admin interfaces using the finest stacks and techniques. If you’d like to chat, I’m up for a 15–30 minute conversation to explore ideas, architecture, and collaboration opportunities.
