[01]Experience
From Denmark’s largest companies to my own platform.
I have worked for some of Denmark’s largest companies, several startups and medium sized businesses. I know both the first steps of a new product and the demands of software that people rely on every day.
Hundreds of thousands
Active users
I have worked on platforms with hundreds of thousands of active users. Stability, performance and sound technical decisions are part of the daily work.
DK · SE · USA
Experience across borders
Alongside Danish businesses, I have worked for clients in Sweden and the USA. From startups to established companies with larger systems.
2024
Sold my own platform
In 2024, I sold a platform I had built to an American company. I have also been on your side of the table as a product owner.
[02]Services
What do you need help with?
From a small fix to a new app. I can also help if you're not yet sure how to solve the problem. Here are a few examples.
Databases and web apps
Customer portals, booking systems and internal tools. I help with data models, slow database queries and moving data out of older systems.
Take over, fix or upgrade
An outdated system, an app built with an AI tool, or code nobody knows anymore. I make it secure, stable and ready for further development.
A website that sells
Fast websites that rank on Google and turn visitors into leads.
iOS apps
I develop apps for iPhone and iPad that make your product easy for customers or employees to use on the go. From the first idea to an app in the App Store.
Workflow automation
Stop copying data, sending the same emails and preparing reports by hand. I connect your systems and automate the repetitive tasks.
Shopify stores
Setup, customisation and development of your Shopify store. I help with themes, features and connections to the systems you use every day.
Integrations and APIs
Connect your store, accounting, CRM, ERP and inventory systems. I build connections that transfer data and save you from entering the same information twice.

[03]AI in development
Faster development. Lower cost.
I use AI throughout development. It saves time on coding and repetitive tasks, helping me keep the price down compared with doing everything without AI. I take responsibility for the solution and review and test the work before delivery.
A shorter path from idea to product
AI helps with coding, debugging and repetitive tasks, so I can get to something useful sooner.
Fewer development hours
Work that can be done faster takes fewer hours. That is part of how I can keep the price down.
Reviewed and tested by me
I make the technical decisions, review the code and test that the solution works. I take responsibility for the finished work.

We go live together. Then I keep it secure and up to date, or hand it over to your own team.

How much does it cost?
It depends on the task. Tell me what you need and I'll give you an estimate of the scope and cost. We agree on pricing before I start.
Do you use AI in development?
Yes. I use AI for coding, debugging and repetitive tasks. It makes development faster and helps keep the price down. I review and test the work and take responsibility for the finished solution.
How soon can you start and deliver?
It depends on the task and my calendar. After a short conversation, you'll get an honest estimate of when I can start and how long it will take.
What happens if you get sick?
The code lives in your own repository from day one, and the software is built so another developer can take over. We also agree on how operations and handover are handled.
Who owns the code?
You do. The code lives in your own repository from the first day, so you have access the whole way and are never locked in to me.
Can you work in our codebase or with our team?
Yes. I get up to speed on your existing system and work in your repository and your workflow. If someone else wrote the code, we start by getting an overview of what's there.
What happens after launch?
Your call. I can handle maintenance and further development so your product stays secure and up to date. Or you can have everything handed over so your own team can take it from there.
Fixed price or hourly?
Both are possible. Tasks with a clear scope can be fixed price, while smaller and ongoing work is often billed by the hour. We choose the model that fits the task.
How do we work together?
You talk directly to me. We agree on how you follow the work, and I reply within 1 business day.
What can you help with?
I can help with PHP and Laravel, databases, Shopify stores, API integrations, automation, websites, web apps and iOS apps. It could be a new product, a bug fix or systems that need to work together. Tell me about the task and we will work out the next step.
Do you work with private individuals?
No. I only work with businesses, which is why all prices exclude VAT.
