What is your background as an engineer?

3+ years of professional frontend experience (Apr 2021 – Feb 2024) building production applications in React, Next.js, TypeScript, with 15+ shipped projects across SaaS dashboards, e-commerce, and marketing sites. Currently studying BSc IT at OsloMet (Aug 2025 – Jun 2028) and expanding into backend, databases, and cloud development.

What is your current technical stack?

  • Languages: TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), Java, Python, SQL
  • Frontend: React, Next.js, HTML5, CSS, Sass/SCSS, Tailwind CSS
  • Backend / data (in progress): Node.js, REST APIs, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Java APIs
  • Tooling: Git, Vite, Docker, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Vercel)
  • Testing: Playwright, Vitest
  • Engineering practices: Performance optimization, accessibility (WCAG), responsive design

What are you doing now?

Studying BSc IT at OsloMet in Oslo (Aug 2025 – Jun 2028), with current coursework in Java APIs, Python, Databases, and Web Programming. Strong grades in foundational programming (A in Programming, A in Web Development & Inclusive Design). Working part-time at ASKO alongside studies and building independent projects to deepen backend and cloud skills.

What kind of role are you looking for?

Open to summer 2026 internships, part-time student developer roles in Oslo (or remote), and summer 2027 internships at Norwegian tech companies. Targeting full-stack and backend-leaning positions while staying open to strong frontend opportunities. Norwegian and English working proficiency, plus native Russian and Ukrainian.

How do you approach performance and accessibility?

Performance and accessibility are part of how I build, not afterthoughts. Across my client work, I drove measurable results: reduced page load times by up to 40% via code-splitting, image optimization, and caching strategies. I work to WCAG accessibility standards using semantic HTML, keyboard/ARIA support, and structured headings. Testing with Playwright and Vitest catches regressions before they ship.

What are you currently building or learning?

Studying for upcoming exams in Python, Web Programming, and Databases (June 2026). Building a flagship full-stack project this summer combining ASP.NET Core (C#), PostgreSQL, and Azure deployment with a Next.js frontend — extending my engineering range from frontend into backend and cloud. Long-term focus areas: .NET ecosystem, cloud-native development, and algorithmic depth.
