Building backend systems at one of Sweden’s leading hosting and cloud infrastructure providers.
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.
Technical lead on high-performance web applications. Infrastructure with Docker, AWS, Ansible, and Traefik. RESTful APIs and microservices in Laravel. Led code reviews, mentored junior devs, ran technical interviews.
Learned that AWS can burn through a client’s monthly budget in days. Funny now. Wasn’t funny then.
12+ years building web applications for a wide range of clients. PHP (Laravel, CodeIgniter), JavaScript frameworks, and scalable architecture. Set up DevOps workflows: Docker, Ansible, Traefik, and CI/CD. Built microservices, handled security, and did technical consulting for enterprise clients.
Built high-load enterprise platforms for metallurgical and construction industries. Designed a social network for metallurgists and B2B trading platforms with distributed MySQL. Mentored junior developers and set coding standards for the team.
Worked on a large e-commerce platform using ASP, PHP, MS SQL Server, and MySQL. Built automated data integration for supplier catalogs and custom parsers for price list imports.
ASP taught me patience. Parsers taught me joy.
Built the company’s first website from scratch—PHP backend, HTML/CSS/JavaScript frontend. Their first online presence.
Web development with PHP, MySQL, and HTML/CSS. Part-time role while continuing education.
System administration and web development with HTML, CSS, and MySQL. My first C++ experience—built software that students still use today.
In 2022, I ran that old C++ app on Windows just to see. And almost 20 years later—it still works. Honestly? I was surprised.
