I'm a Swedish senior backend and e-commerce developer specialising in Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce and PHP/Laravel, with around 9 years of Magento and 10 years of PHP. I'm an Adobe Certified Expert – Adobe Commerce Developer and a Toptal-vetted freelancer, with a BSc in Computer Engineering from LTH, Lund University.
What I've done
• Magento agency lead (eValent/Elastycloud, 2017–2021): head developer on most client sites, building Magento 1 and 2 stores and modules in PHP, JavaScript and Go, and solution architect in client meetings. I was also one of two DevOps engineers behind the group's in-house Magento hosting platform on Google Cloud and Kubernetes, with Go microservices.
• Bank payment integrations (Resurs Bank, consultant 2021–2025): developed and maintained the bank's payment modules for Magento 2, WooCommerce and PrestaShop, plus a Docker-based test environment and Laravel management tools.
• Custom Magento 2 builds: a tailor-made store for Carpet Avenue, a global online carpet retailer and distributor (unique product configuration, drop-shipping stock handling), and head developer of a heavily customised Magento 2 store for a US company.
• Automation and integrations: order-flow automation for Swedish transport and logistics companies, including order-import integrations into the Opter transport management system, run on monthly retainers.
• Product: product owner and lead developer of Docveyor, an AI platform that turns incoming documents (email, scans, PDF, XML/CSV) into structured data for business systems.
Today I work part-time for a US e-commerce company via Toptal and run Lufinity IT Services AB in Helsingborg as CTO & Lead Developer. I work AI-first: Claude Code is part of my daily workflow, so clients get more done per billable hour, and every change is still reviewed and tested to a senior standard.
I do my best work when I own a store or application end to end – architecture, modules, integrations, upgrades, security, performance and hosting – as the one accountable developer who knows the whole system.
Engagement: from a few hours a week up to part-time, remote from Sweden (CET) with partial US-hours overlap, and short on-site visits in Skåne. B2B through my company only.
Languages: Swedish (native), English (fluent), German (B1), Danish and Norwegian (good understanding).
