Dennis Carlsson
Who?
I am a "full-stack"/unicorn developer (mostly web) that live in the trail-n-error development world and constantly love to learn new things.
It doesn't matter what language or framework, I believe that the foundation skills are the most important and solving problems no matter the tool is what makes a great developer.
For the last couple of years I've been digging deep into the PHP/Laravel ecosystem, but I have a background in Ruby on Rails before that. For frontend lately it's mostly been tailwindcss for css, and Alpine.js/Livewire for components. But from time to time React.
I tend to mix between UX/UI, front- and backend developers and have many times acted as a bridge between designers and developers to get the best possible outcome for a project, avoiding misunderstandings and unnecessary work.
From different people and clients I have been described as someone that has good questions and asks the right things to get to the root of a problem.
Outside of programming I enjoy games, anime, books and cars.
Currently I'm living in northern Sweden, before that I moved around lots inside Sweden and lived in Seoul, South Korea and Braga, Portugal.
Worked mainly remote since 2015.
