frontend developer, digital designer, ui/ux connoisseur · Gothenburg, Sweden
Hi, I'm Max. Two-ish years of building web apps, and I care about the unglamorous parts: load times, empty states, and naming things properly. Still working on that last one though.
hello.
// rebuilt this site four times before shipping it
For the past two years I've been building web apps end to end: the database, the API and the interface on top. My favourite work sits where design meets engineering, like getting a page to load in half the time or rewriting an error message so it actually helps.
I took the long way here. Before development I worked with people. Adults fighting addiction, teenagers on their way into crime and drugs, and for a while at a school. That work taught me more about communication than any course has, and it still shows in how I build things.
Away from the keyboard I game, spend time with the family, and slowly lose the fight against my Steam backlog.

2025 — 2026
Internship at the media group behind Göteborgs-Posten. I built internal tools for the newsroom's digital designers, including GP StoryLab and GP Karta, from first sketch to deployed app.
2024 — 2026
A two-year frontend program. React, TypeScript and a lot of building actual apps, finished off with the internship at Stampen Media.
until 2024
I worked with adults fighting addiction and teenagers on their way into crime and drugs, and later at a school. I kept at it right up until the frontend program started. It taught me more about communication than anything since.
2019 — 2021
My first taste of design and code. Content design, UX and enough development to get curious. It took a few more years before I acted on it.
