Fullstack Engineer◆Switzerland◆Available now
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 my mother’s astrology business site. Rebuilt the SEO foundations, added self-serve booking, and set her up with 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 Corston, then a promotion I worked for. 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.

Timeline
2021
Graduated General Assembly, an intensive Software Engineering bootcamp
2021–23
Just over a year of building: personal projects, game jams, learning by doing
Apr 2022
First paid contract: a React shift-rota app for DTV Group, built alongside a senior developer.
Jan 2023
First dev role at a startup building a drawing app for a major bank. Added animations and micro-interactions that made it feel alive.
Aug 2023
Joined Corston as Frontend Developer
2023–24
Built App Hub (internal tooling suite), Translator Coordinator, and Shopify Checkout Extensions. Took initiative to implement Algolia search for the UK store and trained the team on it. Completed a Web Accessibility Certificate.
2025
Played a central role in the US website rebuild, introduced a design token system for the web and design teams, proposed Shopify Markets for EU rollouts, and delivered the UK rebuild. Recognised with a promotion to Senior Frontend Engineer.
2026
Finished at Corston in June, then three months Interrailing across Europe. Now looking for my next role in Switzerland.
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’ve wrapped up at Corston and I’m looking for my next role in Switzerland: ideally fullstack, at a small, growing company where I can take problems from start to finish. If that sounds like your team, I’m easy to reach.
