Hej again. 👋 My name is Kris and I’m the guy with that cool domain name.

I've been working professionally in this industry since I've got my bachelor of engineering degree in 2012, mainly as a freelance web and software developer. In 2018 I decided to give up being a freelancer, because I really enjoy working with other amazing people in a team. At first I helped überdosis (which is now Tiptap) building software for clients and created & maintained open source projects. In 2021 I joined IU Groups effort to empower everyone with education to grow.

After work, I film & edit short videos, go cycling, hiking, spend time outdoors and tinker with my home network & server. I like birds, longboards, science, open-source, self-hosting and Indie/HC-Punk music.

From time to time I also take freelance jobs for design, video-production or coding. I also got a large network of nice and skilled fellow freelancers and agencies, so hit me up if you got something.
