I build and ship complete software products end to end, from the database schema to the interface a client actually clicks through. Most of my work sits in React and Next.js on the front end, with .NET Core, Node, or Python behind it, and I write my own SQL rather than leaning on an ORM to guess.

Right now I run Mjuk Lov, a bilingual Swedish/English baking platform I built and shipped solo: customer accounts with row-level security, Stripe payments, an owner-side order back office, and an AI step that drafts allergen labels under EU food law but never publishes one without a human checking it first. I also work on Sweden Startup Next, a national data platform for Sweden Startup Nation, wiring React, Redux, and AG Grid to real databases.

Before Gothenburg, I spent over a year at RADA Computing Solutions in Turin, working on their client Alstom's project: a 2008 manufacturing system migrated into a modern React platform across 20-plus modules, table loads cut by about 40% using AG Grid on 150k-plus rows, and PL/SQL queries sped up by roughly 60%.

I trained as a software engineer and as a fine artist, which shows up in how I think about interfaces. I'm based in Gothenburg, work fluently in English and Italian, and I'm currently learning Swedish.
