👋 Hello & welcome!

My name is Ditlev and I'm a digital designer & fullstack developer based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Background

I have a BA in Communication and Multimedia from Aarhus University. I chose not to write my master thesis in Digital Design and communication from IT-university Copenhagen and instead tried and failed a start-up adventure. I am a self-thought programmer and a nerd.

Experience

I spent six years trying to launch a community-focused platform, but failed with many lessons learned. I was a freelancer for a couple of years, where I created many websites and solving odd digital problems for a range of clients. Currently I work at an art gallery in Copenhagen, where I built and develop business tools as well as manage most technical aspects of the gallery.

Fullstack designer & developer

I write typescript/javascript, react, next.js, node/bun every day. From Tailwind-styled lean mean optimized UIs to backend systems with databases, APIs and authentication. I love to learn new things and am always looking for new challenges.
