I want to co-operate hands-on to deliver backend, API, and user admin panel functionality—up to 10 times faster—using smart tools (not only AI). I love also teaching and solving complex problems.

@kasparpalgi
Senior full-stack developer focused on fast, secure backend APIs and scalable product delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior full-stack programmer and software analyst with over two and a half decades of expertise in medium.com/crewnew-com (Blog) software development, constantly improving how teams ship “rapid, secure, and bug-free delivery.” I’m senior in Svelte, TypeScript, and NodeJS, and I can extend that into mobile with Flutter and Dart when needed.
I build backend and API systems that feel “blasting fast,” leveraging Hasura and GraphQL, with PostgreSQL and Docker-driven deployment. In hardware and IoT, I specialize in C++ and hands-on work with ESP32 (ESP-IDF), while also bringing an education mindset—IT teacher certificate, plus TDD, pair programming, and Agile methodologies. I co-founded Klarity (Automatic Time Tracking) and have spent years delivering as a freelancer developer and analyst, including backend work such as Cloud-Services Backend, where reliability and product value came first.
