Backend Developer · Malmö, Sweden
Backend development at a major Nordic fashion e-commerce platform. PHP, Symfony, Go, and Python. Microservices architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and performance tuning with Locust.
Confirmed: Laravel over Symfony. Fell in love with Go for tooling. Had way too much fun with Locust and Python—should’ve started years earlier. Also made some great friends here.

System administration and web development with HTML, CSS, and MySQL. My first C++ experience—built software that students still use today.
