Why am I doing this?

Me in a cowboy hat at Moldegaard stables

Through the years of working as developer I feel like I have picked up quite a few small tips and tricks. And probably some anti-patterns, bad habits and a love for over-engineered solutions (especially in hobby projects). I have worked on small and large projects since I started my Bachelor in Information-Technology in 2006. Since 2010 I have been working mostly with Microsoft technologies like:

  • Asp.net, .Net, .Net Core

  • MsSql, Azure SQL

  • Azure

I also love trying out new technologies and functions in frameworks like Svelte, Angular, React, .Net Razor pages, .Net Maui etc.
