+ Odense, Denmark + Software Engineer + 10+ years +

+ +**Pragmatic software engineer building tools that turn slow, manual work into boringly fast workflows.** + +I have worked on everything from satellite ground stations and autonomous drone measurement systems to internal tooling for Denmark's biggest TV station and streaming service. I like code that is clear under pressure, useful in production, and simple enough to come back to six months later.
-> Pragmatic developer with 10+ years of building things, from satellite ground stations to streaming platforms. I pick the right tool for the job, not the trendiest one. Sometimes that's Rust, sometimes it's a bash script. +--- + +### What I am doing now + +Building internal tools at [TV 2 Danmark](https://tv2.dk/) where the best compliment is: + +> "That used to take two hours. Now it takes five minutes." -
+This GitHub is where my hobby projects, experiments, and self-taught rabbit holes live. Some are polished. Some are notes to future me. Most are still moving. -My GitHub is where hobby projects and self-taught experiments live, most perpetually in progress. That's the fun part. +### What I tend to build -### Now +- Developer tools and small automations that remove repeated work +- Web apps and dashboards with practical UX over decorative complexity +- Backend services, scripts, and integrations that favor boring reliability +- Game addons, IoT experiments, Raspberry Pi projects, and "I wonder if..." prototypes -Building internal tools at [**TV 2 Danmark**](https://tv2.dk/), Denmark's biggest TV station and streaming service. The kind of work where *"that used to take 2 hours, now it takes 5 minutes"* is the best compliment. +### Before this -### Before +I worked in satellite communications, building ground control software, autonomous flight logic, and data analysis tools for drone-based antenna measurement systems. That meant Qt, Python, ROS, RF payloads, and code that needed to behave while hardware was in the air. -**Satellite communications.** Yes, actual satellites in space. Built ground control software, autonomous flight logic, and data analysis tools for drone-based antenna measurement systems. Drones carrying RF payloads to test satellite dishes and radars on-site, for clients like ESA, NATO and TERMA. Using Qt, Python, and code that absolutely cannot fail mid-flight. +Clients and domains included ESA, NATO, TERMA, satellite dishes, radar systems, and field measurements where a good error message beats a clever abstraction. -
