Own product: taltolk.se

I'm a full-stack developer currently working at ValueAdd Solution Scandinavia AB in Sweden, where I build and maintain web and mobile applications across healthcare, logistics, e-commerce, legal, and construction industries.

My stack centers on React, Next.js, Node.js, and Azure — but I'm equally comfortable on the backend with Python, PostgreSQL, and GraphQL, and in the cloud with CI/CD pipelines and Azure DevOps.

Outside my day job I'm the developer behind taltolk.se, an AI-powered translation SaaS, and I write technical tutorials published on Dev.to and other developer publications.
