About me
I am a freelance developer based in Denmark. I help with PHP and Laravel, databases, Shopify, integrations, automation and apps. You talk directly to me, from the first conversation until the solution is ready to use.

The story
I've been writing code for as long as I can remember. What still hooks me is the moment an idea stops being a sketch and becomes something people actually use.
Today I work as a freelance developer. I have worked on projects for large Danish companies and small businesses alike, helping with everything from small fixes to new systems.
What matters most is solving the right problem. I use AI to develop faster and keep the price down, and I review and test the work. I ask both what you want built and what it should make easier for you, your employees or your customers.
How I work
Here's what you can count on, whether the job is a website or a full platform.
No project manager in between. You deal directly with me from the first call to the last deploy.
We discuss the task and agree on scope, price and timeline before I start.
You get a clear picture of price and scope before work starts. You know what you're paying for, and why.
The code is yours from the first day. You're never locked in to me.
If an off-the-shelf tool suits you better, or I'm not the right fit for the job, I'll tell you.
You won't wait a week for an answer. Write to me and you'll hear back within 1 business day.
Why freelance
When you need something built, you usually have three options. Here's the honest comparison.
| Agency | In-house hire | Me, freelance | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who you talk to | Usually a project manager | One employee | The developer writing the code |
| What you pay for | Hours plus agency overhead | Salary, pension and gear all year | What actually gets built |
| Flexibility | Tied to the team's calendar | Hard to scale up or down | Scale up or down as needed |
I work freelance because I want to be close to the people I build for. There are no layers in between, and I can say yes to the projects where I can make a real difference.
Sometimes an agency or an in-house hire is the right call, for example if you need a whole team for years. If so, I'll tell you.
When I'm not coding
When the laptop closes, it's time with family and friends. A good dinner, a walk or a movie night. I do better work when I properly switch off.
From the blog
I write about getting software built: pricing, choosing a developer, SaaS, AI and maintenance. Every post is reviewed, edited and approved by me.
