Alexander T. - developer in Sweden
Alexander T.
Senior fullstack Developer, Tech Lead, experienced coach

Hello! My name is Alexander. With ten years of experience in Tech, in roles ranging from Full-stack Software Developer to Tech Lead and Product Owner, I consider myself a Product Developer above all. In my career I have built solutions used by millions of users in the public sector of Sweden, built a web-app which allows 90+ million Klarna users to see the emissions of their purchases and built a real-estate startup from the ground up. As a Software Developer, I am used to rapidly learning new languages and frameworks to quickly immerse myself in new projects and deliver early value. In addition to my technical skills, I pride myself on taking the big picture into account in all my decisions, as well as facilitating good communication both internally and externally. All in all, I am a team player with strong product and technical skills. In my next role, I am happy to integrate with an existing team to deliver features, build a new team from the ground up, or otherwise contribute to a great product.
