I am a .NET student with a strong interest in web development,
backend systems, and clean design.
My professional journey started in a completely different field. I
trained as a chef and worked in restaurants for about a year after
finishing chef school. The work meant long hours, low pay, and
working when everyone else was free. After a while I realized it
was not the life I wanted long term.
I moved into industrial work instead. The idea was to earn a
stable income while taking time to think about what I really
wanted to study and work with. I stayed in the industry for many
years, built a stable life, and started a family with my wife and
our child. However, shift work — especially nights and weekends —
eventually started affecting my sleep and made me rethink my
long-term career path.
My interest in computers goes much further back. My first computer
was a Commodore 64. Later, when I spent time playing games on the
Amiga, I discovered the programming environment AMOS. A friend and
I became excited about the idea of buying it and trying to build
our own Desert Strike-style game. We didn’t have the money for it
at the time, but the idea of creating things with computers stuck
with me.
We also spent a lot of time hanging around the local computer
store, looking at the machines running Windows 3.11 and dreaming
about owning one ourselves.
Years later, when my child became older and more independent, I
finally had the opportunity to change direction. With support from
Sweden's omställningsstöd, I decided to pursue something I had
always been curious about: technology and software development.
Today I focus on .NET development, web technologies, and backend
systems. I enjoy building real projects, understanding how systems
work under the hood, and continuously improving my skills as a
developer.
