001 — About

Building the
web, one
pixel at a time.

I'm a frontend developer specialising in React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS, with a diploma in Frontend Development from Noroff — School of Technology and Digital Design. My background managing fast-paced hospitality environments sharpened my ability to work under pressure, communicate clearly, and stay detail-oriented.

I'm passionate about building beautiful, accessible, and user-friendly web apps. I thrive in collaborative teams and love working closely with designers, clients, and fellow developers to bring ideas to life. Outside of coding, you'll find me hiking, fishing, following F1, or somewhere new in the world.
