I have been working with web technologies for over 10 years. My past positions range from small local startup to companies with thousands of employess. I have filled several different kinds of roles, including senior development, team leading, consulting and even technical presales.
Even though I effectively work on both the frontend and the backend, I have a soft spot in my heart for coding complex UIs. I am deeply interested in CSS architectures, UI components and living styleguides.
