I’m Rickard Borchers, a full stack developer from Sweden who builds secure, production-ready web applications with React and TypeScript on the frontend and Java/Spring Boot on the backend. I focus especially on authentication, authorization, and API design (including JWT, OAuth 2.0 / OIDC, and OpenAPI), and I enjoy turning requirements into clean, maintainable systems. Recently I graduated from Nackademin’s Java Developer (YH) program and built a production graduation project (Pantry Tracker) with JWT access + refresh tokens and role-aware access control from scratch. Alongside that, I’ve worked hands-on with a production SaaS platform (56N), where I also identified and escalated critical security risks, and I continue to integrate and ship features with tools like Claude Code and modern CI/CD practices.
