Career

dotmethod

Software Consultant / December 2022 – present / Copenhagen

Dotmethod is a self-founded software consultancy based in Copenhagen, Denmark. With the vast range and variety of experience I've gained over the years, I've decided to take the leap and start my own independent consulting business.

My primary goal is to help companies build great products, and to help them achieve their business goals by breaking down the technology barriers. I'm a versatile software engineer, which means I'm comfortable working with any stack and across industries on any project that has an interesting technical challenge.

Literal

Chief Technical Officer / April 2021 – present / Copenhagen

We believe that books and their place in the internet age haven't quite been figured out yet. We've built Literal in order to give book readers a delightful online reading experience. And it's been incredibly rewarding to build the platform from the ground up.

From a technical point of view, Literal is the ideal project. It pushes the tech to its limits on multiple frontiers: data, infrastructure, web, mobile, and devops. I've been involved in building Literal from its inception, and as a CTO I'm responsible for anything technical: from building the team culture and mentoring to technology choices, system architecture, infrastructure, and development.

Kiosk

Technical lead / August 2020 – March 2021 / Copenhagen

Kiosk is a cloud-based broadcasting solution that makes it easy for you to share the content you care about with all your work colleagues.

Responsible for leading the development team, and making the technical and architectural decisions for the product. I was actively involved in the development process, working on a full-stack web-based platform.

IBM Garage

Full-Stack Cloud Engineer / June 2019 – July 2020 / Copenhagen

"The speed of a startup, at the scale of an enterprise" - a catchphrase which I think describes the Garage very well. I worked as part of a small cross-functional agile team of experts, to advise and develop innovative solutions on behalf of our customers. From startups to enterprises, I was responsible for developing customers' ideas into reality.

In this role, I worked with the latest and greatest technologies, across any stacks that come our way, which fits great with my agnostic approach towards technology. I worked with greenfield projects, buiding customer solutions from the group up, as well as with modernization projects, where I was responsible for modernizing legacy systems to cloud-native architectures and bringing customer development teams up to speed with modern DevOps practices.

FundConnect

Lead developer & Product Owner / Oct 2012 – Feb 2017 & Oct 2017 - June 2019 / Copenhagen

I began my working career at FundConnect as a web developer, developing web solutions on behalf of clients from the FinTech sector. My responsibilities evolved over the years from single tasks to entire client implementations, and later on to team leader.

I led a team of developers and together we worked on various projects, some of which I was the originator of. My responsibilities spanned from concept to execution, and every step in between, i.e. system architecture, technology selection, server infrastructure, continuous delivery, product development, and more. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to personally build this team, starting from recruitment, to training, support and management.

This position has enabled me to create positive change on an ongoing basis in the places where the company was lacking technologically or otherwise. I’ve been a driver of improvement in internal development processes, I’ve innovated in the product line of the company, and was responsible for several key technological decisions of the company.

On a personal level, this role has enabled me to take as much responsibility as I was able to carry, and I have taken every opportunity to grow both as a developer and as a team leader.

Independent Strategic Technology

Full-Stack Developer / Feb - Sep 2017 / Manchester

I worked as a full-stack developer with primary focus on Angular & .Net Core development. During my stay in Manchester, with IST, I got the chance to work on an innovative product within the FinTech industry, and had the opportunity to practice my skills on fresh technologies, along-side with a newly established team of talented developers.

The company's product was stealth at the time that I was there and that gave me the chance to focus purely on the development of the product, which accelerated my technical skills.

Notable academic contributions


Mizaru: Privacy to email providers

The project focused on designing and developing an extra-secure web-based email client, with the purpose of protecting the privacy of users. The project had at heart the Zero Knowledge Privacy philosophy and it was designed to provide end-to-end encryption, while not even storing the original encryption keys. With Mizaru, the user can simply keep using their existing email provider, while enjoying the perks of being private, without having to install any software or browser extension.

BlueID: Secure, smart lock

Mechanical lock-and-key access control is notoriously insecure in this day and age; virtually anyone can break a lock with the most basic tools. Why not leverage technology? This project was about designing a secure phisical access control system using ubiquitous technologies, i.e. Smartphones, Bluetooth. While there are existing products to fill the niche, ALL of them have security issues which can only be mitigated through a design revamp. BlueID uses simple technologies in a clever way, to provide an extra-secure lock mechanism, which can be used just by having your smartphone with you.

SmartTrack: Issue tracking

Issue tracking and project management are problematic within any software company. SmartTrack was about creating an efficient, dynamic tool which would enable managers, marketing, and developers to speak the same languaage. The system was designed and crafted based on data extracted from several user tests and was evaluated against other issue tracking systems, ultimatelly surpassing them in the eyes of the users.

DASPOS: Smoke and fire prevention

The project was conducted in collaboration with DASPOS, a company which delivers high-cost sophisticated fire prevention equipment all around the globe. In an attempt to increase cost-efficiency, security and accessibility, the project resulted in an end-to-end design and specification of a monitoring system, expanding accessibility and accountability through the use of mobile applications, web-apps and others.

Affordable internet in remote areas

The project revolved around providing internet connectivity to remote rural areas, where conventional infrastructure is too expensive to deploy. The case study was based in the rural areas of Tanzania, and the research was conducted in parallel with field experts. The result was a detailed step-by-step plan to deploying affordable internet infrastructure in rural Tanzania, while considering the needs of the people in the area.

Search engines and privacy

Google has been the defacto search engine of the world. Yet, a closer look reveals concerning issues that Google and other major search engines have in the area of user privacy. This project is an analysis of Search Engines, some which track users and some which don't, in an attempt to determine whether one may be profitable while maintaining high standards of user privacy.
