Arbetsförmedlingen (Digital Engagemang) 

Period: 2018–2025

Role: Senior System Developer (subcontractor)

Overview:

I won this tender 3 consecutive times with the help of RedPill and Netlight. The client needed a SCORM-compatible LMS for various training and compliance programs. I built this to spec and maintained it for 3 years, until they bought a commercial product SABA LMS, and asked me to migrate all user and course data to that new platform. After that, my team offered me a lead development role for a new project, DigitalaJag, a training platform done in collaboration with Google Digitalakademin. I accepted and worked in this new role for the next 4 years. My responsibilities included: solution architecture, server provisioning, backend programming, front-end programming, database administration, e2e testing, git repo management, security hardening, and analytics.

Leasify AB

Period:  2018–2020

Roles: Senior Developer, System Administrator (consultant)

Overview:

I was referred to this client by Developer's Bay. The client needed an experienced developer to refactor their codebase. I started by writing a suite of unit tests, acceptance tests, and e2e tests. Then I refactored the database closer to 3NF form, and began to improve code quality by introducing strict typing, database migrations, better logging practices, professional bug reporting tools, and git pre-commit hooks with static analysis and code sniffer tools. I also worked to automate their document e-signing procedures for new contracts, as well as improve their billing system to properly display Swedish metadata (MOMs, Bankgiro and Postgiro) on invoices and offer downloadable PDF receipts. With the help of other consultants who joined in later, we completely rewrote the application into the robust enterprise-class platform it is today.
