About

With over a fifteen years of hands-on development, technical leadership and consulting experience for large and small companies, I specialize in Web front-end. In the last few years I’ve enjoyed leading front-end teams and ramping up development speed while improving and cultivating high coding standards - in legacy, as well as greenfield projects. When guiding and mentoring team members, I teach the right approach and mindset to have when facing organizational, as well as technical challenges. I help people challenge decisions, ask questions, assess and balance limits, constraints and trade-offs of different approaches. I am friendly, approachable, engaging and criticize constructively. I explain and reason about complex systems and concepts in a way anyone can understand. People like working with me and claim to learn a lot from how I solve problems. I choose languages, frameworks, tooling and actively review code, while enforcing strict quality standards during development (and CI/CD). The result is a short and effective feedback loop, which catches mistakes early, directs developers into the “pit of success” and encourages a culture of mutual responsibility and co-ownership among team members. Hiring me will improve your team’s output quality and delivery velocity, while reducing maintenance costs. It is an investment in your tech stack, people and development culture, which will keep returning long after our contract is over. I am available for remote and part time consulting or permanent employment.
