Senior Frontend Engineer◆Switzerland◆Open from June
I build things that work. And make them feel good to use.
My work.
Real-time collaboration app for managing multilingual store rollouts. Built because the spreadsheet and Teams approach was falling apart.
Internal App Hub
2023
A suite of workflow tools built to work around Shopify's limitations. Used daily by the marketing, web, and ops teams.
Shopify Checkout Extensions
2024
Custom checkout blocks for things Shopify's locked-down checkout can't do natively.
Rebuilt a client's astrology business site. Tripled weekly traffic through SEO, added self-serve booking, and handed over a CMS so she runs it entirely herself.
A commissioned vehicle listing site — built to spec, handed off, and still live. Now being actively maintained by the client, vibe-coding with Claude Code.
Mobile app for tracking Arc Raiders sessions. Survival odds, teammate performance, and loot efficiency over time.
A Wordle clone in React and TypeScript, with bilingual support — the same EN/FR split that ended up in this portfolio.
Some projects are marked private. Company IP, but real impact.
The details.
General Assembly bootcamp in late 2021. Just over a year of building things and applying everywhere. A startup, then my current company, then a promotion I didn't have to chase. Not the most direct route, but I moved fast once I got going.
I think of everyone I work with as a client I want to leave with a good impression. That usually means spotting what's broken before anyone asks, and building the fix rather than raising a ticket. The gap between 'this is painful' and 'I'll build something about it' is usually pretty short. I'm based in Switzerland, half Norwegian by heritage, which probably explains the Linux obsession and the viking avatar. Outside of work I daily-drive Arch Linux, tinker with tiling window managers, run local LLMs, and build apps to help my friends and I get better at the games we play.

Graduated General Assembly, an intensive Software Engineering bootcamp
2021–23
Just over a year of building: personal projects, game jams, learning by doing

Aug 2023
Joined current company as Frontend Developer

2026
Leaving to travel and build. Looking for the right thing again from winter 2026.
The origin.
2021
General Assembly
Intensive Software Engineering bootcamp. The starting point.
2021–22
Game jams and early projects
Built a 2D viking platformer. In a second jam, took a limited UI role but showed up with full commitment — someone on that team noticed, started a company, and invited me to join.
Jan 2023
Startup drawing app
First professional role. Added sliding step transitions to a setup flow — not in the brief, but the designer liked it. My boss said it was the kind of thing clients wouldn't get elsewhere. The instinct stuck.

Say hi.
I'm leaving my role in June and taking some time to travel while I figure out what's next. That might be the right remote role, a collaboration, or building something of my own. If any of that sounds interesting, I'm easy to reach.
