I am a Web Developer from Denmark with a diverse skill set and a passion for technology.

Currently, I am pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Web Development at Zealand, where I am honing my skills and diving deep into React.

Projects

Beamtic

2016 — Developer and Writer

Beamtic started as a tutorial site for web developers. The site is based on a custom developed CMS, and has been rebuilt from the ground-up a few times.

Since the advance of AI, people tend to not use tutorial sites much, and as a result the site has lost most of its search engine traffic. Nowadays I run the site more like a personal blog, with a broader focus on subjects that interest me.

Tech: PHP, SASS, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Docker, Redis, MySQL and MariaDB, Python

PHP Photo Gallery

2017 — Developer

A photo gallery based on PHP's built-in functionality, modern CSS, HTML and JavaScript.
