Mobile app developer, cloud computing enthusiast and master of finding simple solutions to complex problems. My life focus is on craftsmanship in software development, whether that means delivering great user experiences, clean code or system architectures that can scale. When I'm not writing awesome code, I enjoy skiing, playing tennis, travelling to interesting places and learning about the local culture. Oh, and riding my electric scooter!
