I am a UI Developer with a diverse background, combining 12+ years of experience in graphic design (including roles at IKEA and Kjell & Company) with professional software engineering experience from Swedbank and Paradox Interactive. Because I understand both the visual and the technical sides of a project, I enjoy acting as a bridge between design and development teams. My technical toolkit spans from front-end to back-end and data management—including React, TypeScript, Java, and SQL—complemented by expertise in Adobe Creative Suite, SEO, and web analytics. This broad foundation allows me to contribute effectively to everything from UI layouts and functional code to data integration and optimization.
