Senior Software Engineer, Former Scientist, To-be-back Skydiver
As an Engineer with a strong passion for software development and systems design, I am currently serving as a Developer at Brite Payments.
Before joining Brite, I worked as a Senior Software Engineer / Analytics Developer and Team Lead for Data Engineering team at Anyfin. I am responsible for building and maintaining several microservices, as well as leading the team towards providing the company with reliable data-flow.
Prior to joining Anyfin, I worked at Klarna as a Software Engineer and IAM Specialist. I was responsible for building the tooling to provide IAM specialists with automation.
Before that, I worked as a Software Engineer and Researcher at Uppsala University and Institut Laue Langevin, where I utilized my expertise in Python to build scientific software for projects in Material Science and Neutron Reflectometry. I also designed sample environments using Solidworks and Blender to support research.
In addition to my professional work, I have undertaken numerous personal projects to accelerate my learning and automate various tasks.
You can check some of my old completed programming projects & publication list under "Portfolio" section. I will gladly demonstrate my more recent projects if you are reading this thinking to offer me an interview at your company!
