Full-Stack Developer · Backend & Operations

Summary

Software developer with about 1.5 years of professional experience from a project position and freelance work. Most recently responsible for designing and building a centralized logging portal from scratch, including containerization and Kubernetes configuration. I work best in small teams with short decision paths, where I can own the whole chain, from architecture and code to making sure the solution actually works in production. Strong foundation in Java and C#, hands-on experience with Laravel, .NET and Unity, and a strong interest in Linux, networking and infrastructure, which I develop through my own server and operations projects.

Work Experience

Full-Stack Developer (project position) · Leancom AB

Nov 2025 – Jun 2026

Responsible for the design and development of a centralized logging portal that collects logs from several internal systems and makes them searchable and filterable for developers. Built with Laravel and Vue, with a webhook API (one API key per source) and a RabbitMQ/AMQP consumer for the log stream from Vector. The result was faster debugging and bug identification across multiple systems.
Took ownership of the containerization of the portal: Dockerfiles and Docker Compose for local development, plus the Kubernetes configuration (deployments, services, env/secrets) for the project’s namespace in the company cluster.
Worked in a two-person team with a senior developer and took part in architecture and design decisions as we built a scalable foundation that evolved into a monolith–microservice hybrid.
Wrote technical documentation for both existing systems and the systems I built myself, making further development and handover easier.

Freelance Developer (part-time) · Unity / .NET / Java

Jan 2025 – Sep 2025

Unity developer on an indie 3D game in a globally distributed team of three, up to 30 h/week. Owned the tower defense part of the game with support from the project lead: new gameplay features and refactoring from object-oriented to data-oriented design (Unity DOTS/ECS).
Asynchronous multiplayer platform for mobile games: server in ASP.NET Core + MySQL for match handling, scores and rewards, plus a Unity SDK (distributed as a UPM package via GitHub) with JWT-secured communication for easy integration into multiple games.
Minecraft mod (Bedrock Edition) with 14 swords with unique abilities, built in JavaScript and JSON on Microsoft’s scripting API. Very positive feedback from the client.

Crew Member · McDonald's

Nov 2024 – Mar 2025

Fast-paced service job: built communication, teamwork and a sense of responsibility within a team.

Personal Projects & Operations

Home Server and VPS Operations · Hobby / hosting for acquaintances

2026 – present

Run my own headless Linux server as well as rented VPSs, administered over SSH. Since my home network is behind CGNAT, I built a WireGuard tunnel to a VPS that acts as the public entry point and reverse proxy.
Caddy as reverse proxy with automatic TLS, Docker Compose for the services, plus DNS, firewall rules, logging and troubleshooting. I currently host websites for a few acquaintances on my own domain, as well as a Minecraft server.
Work extensively with AI assistance in my own projects, which has given me a realistic picture of where AI speeds things up and where I need to review, test and take responsibility for quality myself.
