The best AI shouldn't always agree with you
Thoughts on AI, software engineering, and why the best coding assistant might be the one that asks better questions..

I’ve been developing software professionally since 2014, working across backend, integrations, DevOps, and frontend. I enjoy understanding systems as a whole and solving problems across the stack.
I care about readable, maintainable code and use automated unit and end-to-end tests to catch regressions and make changes safer. My experience also spans CMS platforms such as Sanity.io, Optimizely (formerly EPiServer), Craft CMS, and Umbraco.
Outside of work, I’m a social introvert who loves good food, cooking, board games, and getting carried away in conversations with friends. I also enjoy playing co-op games with my partner, discovering a good series, or unwinding with a glass of wine.

Years of building things has left me with a broad toolbelt and I never get tired of learning new things. Here's what's in it.
A few of the personal projects I’ve worked on in my spare time.
Cupboard is a fun side project I'm building together with my partner — a shared digital pantry where we collect our favorite wines, recipes and cheeses. It's our little curated "cupboard" where we store the food and drink things we love.
Complete with discord bots to add new favorite wines on command while out at restaurants through API functions on Google Cloud and content management through Sanity.io

A browser-based tool for creating CMS page type icons and thumbnails. Combine gradient backgrounds, FontAwesome icons, text and wireframe blocks — then export as PNG or proper vector SVG.
Now with AI generation — describe the thumbnail you want and it builds it for you. Also includes drag-and-drop positioning, element grouping, scale controls and ready-made templates for common CMS layouts.
I always loved playing The Sims and when I learned a bit of GTA modding I took the chance to take inspiration from The Sims with a circular action menu

In this project, I developed a feature that allows players to dumpster dive for items in game, receiving zero or more items upon a successful search.
Additionally, I implemented a GitHub Action to trigger a release build upon pushing a specific tag.

A thought on on-call work, bug reports, and why technical expertise is often treated differently from other professional skills.

I will show you how to create an image property with the option to generate AI Images.
Im a playful goofball at heart, life is too short to not have a little bit of fun while you`re alive, right!?
Cooking and baking help me relax and stay creative. I love exploring new restaurants and trying new dishes and flavors.
Dream: Create a shoppinglist app with integrations with/to discord, google assistant, store apps (ica, coop)
I’ve played games my whole life, both digital and analog —especially ones with building, crafting and puzzles.
Some of my favorite games include: Raft, Split fiction, Valheim, WoW, Enshrouded, Schedule 1, Windrose, Palworld, Subnautica
Dream: Create a mobile game
Few things beat a blanket, rain outside, and a good thriller. I watch everything from Harry Potter, Big bang Theory to classic horror. Of course I cant say no to a little true crime as well both in video and podcast form.
Dream: Create an app that unifies all streaming services in our home.
Sometimes I also pick up a pen and draw anything that comes to mind, usually cute animals like pandas. Anything that lets me be creative, or learn something gives me new energy.
I can also just spend atleast an hour sorting the lego or puzzle pieces before I even start building, preparation is just as important as execution.
Want to chat about a project, collaboration, or just share a great game or recipe? I'd love to hear from you.
