Co-op Mode

Wife. Two kids. Best party I've joined.

Married long enough to know I got lucky on the first try.

Two kids, both stubborn in the best ways. Everything I'm proud of starts with them.

CH 03 · AFTER HOURS

When I'm not coding

Chess. RTS. Mobile MOBA.

One of these most nights, after the kids are out. Which one depends on how the day went.

One of the greatest, a second mother. Thank you for everything.

Frontend Engineering Lead

Current role

Rare Carat, Inc.2018 to present

Pinnacle of my career so far. Came in solo in 2018 to figure out a better frontend architecture for the site, picked the stack, set the patterns, and started shipping. Eight years on, I work with a team of eight amazing devs at the largest diamond marketplace in the US, still in the code every day and still having fun with it.

Current build

Bettercom.ioShipping soon

Old dream project (4 years in the making), finally close to shipping. An Intercom alternative built around the features I always wished a customer messaging tool would have, plus a few I haven't seen anywhere else. Live chat, helpdesk, knowledge base, automations, with plenty more queued up after that.

fun4all.baEarlier

A gaming platform with three of my and my friends' favorite games from Tab Austria's cafe touchscreen tabletop pay to play desks. We used to spend tons of money on those; now we play them on our phones, free, with our own flair and ideas added on top. Real-time multiplayer, publicly accessible, free for everyone, as long as the servers hold up. Built when AI was not a thing or at least not "agentic". Not actively maintained, just for fun, like the name indicates.

On the side

Code Skogens LLCOngoing

My own little workshop. The name is Swedish for forest, which fits how it runs: quiet, careful, in no rush. A few projects a year, mostly for people I already know, only the work I'd actually enjoy building.

  • Vue
  • Quasar
  • Node
  • Express
  • MongoDB

That's the save file so far. If you've got a project to ship or just want to talk shop, the door's open.
