About#
I am a full-stack developer and developer relations with a solid communication and people skills background.
My knowledge includes Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, React, and Node.js, with additional experience with Vue.js, React Native, GraphQL, APIs, and AWS serverless services such as AWS Lambdas, S3 and DynamoDB. I am also a certified AWS Cloud Practitioner.
Additionally, I’m an active and passionate community member committed to supporting the growth and enablement of tech communities across APAC, Europe, and the Americas. I volunteer as a Social Media Specialist for Women In Tech Sweden and teach at ReDI School, a non-profit focused on digital empowerment for women from migrant and refugee backgrounds.
I’m an AWS Community Builder and AWS User Group Leader in Sweden, co-organizing the AWS User Group Skåne and the AWS Women’s User Group Sweden. When living in New Zealand, I founded and organized the Auckland AWS Tools and Programming meetup and co-organized for four years the Full-Stack Engineering - Auckland and Cloud Native & Platform Engineering Auckland.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Communication and experience in various areas, such as journalism, public relations, management, and customer service, I bring a multifaceted background to the table.
This diverse skill set allows me to support teams across various areas and tasks effectively and has made me a collaborative team player with a flexible and resilient mindset. I have also been acknowledged for my ability to work successfully within teams to achieve business outcomes.
Having a strong passion for learning and a love for everything I do are some skills I bring to the technology field. ❤️
