Software Developer

Final-Year Student at Kristianstad University, working part-time at BorgWarner

I'm curious about how things work under the hood, and I like writing software that other people can trust and maintain. Lately I've been putting more attention into engineering craft and secure development.

About

A little about me

I'm in the final year of my software development degree at Kristianstad University, and I work part-time at BorgWarner. There I automate CI/CD pipelines and handle requirements traceability in line with ASPICE.

Before moving into software I worked for years as a social worker, then as a business analyst and project manager in financial services. Those jobs taught me how to break down messy problems, write documentation people actually read, and take data protection seriously. All of that still shapes how I work.
