Hi! I'm Samuel Jensen, a self-driven software engineer with a passion for building modern web applications and scalable backend systems. I enjoy working with technologies like TypeScript, React, Node.js, and Rust, always aiming to improve user experience and application performance through thoughtful design and efficient coding. When I'm not coding, I love learning new programming skills, solving complex problems, and contributing to open-source projects. I'm open to new challenges and opportunities, ideally located in München but happy to relocate if needed.
