I'm a software engineer based in Copenhagen, Denmark. MSc in Computer Science and Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark (2012).

I love mentoring, sharing knowledge, doing a bit of everything, and excel at working full-stack with web technologies.

This is my portfolio where I gather random bits and pieces. I hope you find something useful in my attempt to fight digital sharecropping. Feel free to connect with me on Twitter or LinkedIn.
