Internship at XR Solutions

November 2023 - April 2024

I started my internship as a Fullstack iOS Developer, where I gained practical experience and contributing to the development of XR software for an iOS Native app. 

My primary role was to be the lead iOS developer for the app developed for the startup company. I got to work closely with our UX/UI Team, Backend as-well as our product owner and my position meant i got to work with the following:

Furthermore I got some skills when working in a team using git with Bitbucket, Slack for communication, Jira for our agile planning and sprints and Figma to know what design I am coding.

My own tech company

December 2017 - Present Day

Being a motivated developer i used my free time to improve my coding skills by creating my own tech company called "rovenkodev". 

I create both good looking designs and maintainable code for my customers in the form of web applications and mobile apps.

General

App Development

In 2022, I began my educational journey at the Stockholm Institute of Technology, specializing in Mobile App Development. Since then, I've gained extensive knowledge and skills in various domains.

I've crafted web applications using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, created hybrid mobile apps with React Native and Node.js, and native applications using Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android platforms. My understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) using Java has provided a strong programming foundation.

In addition, I've learned about effective agile project methodologies, version control through Git and GitHub, and the use of essential development tools like Visual Studio Code, Android Studio and Xcode. Lastly I also got educated in User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) design, focusing on usability and aesthetics.

With graduation scheduled for the summer of 2024, I'm eager to apply this diverse skill set to make meaningful contributions in the realm of mobile app development.

Web Development

Since 2017, I've been on a web development journey that began with my education at Nordens Teknikerinstitut Gymnasiet where I graduated and evolved into a passionate pursuit. It all started with a focus on mastering the core languages of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Over time, my dedication and passion have grown, leading to the creation of visually appealing and functional websites.

Game Development

From 2017 to 2021, I also studied game development. I focused on mastering Unity, Unreal Engine, and RPG Maker, becoming proficient in C# scripting for Unity and Unreal Engine Blueprints.

During this time, I built a diverse portfolio of games, including both 2D and 3D creations. Additionally, I explored graphic design using Photoshop, Blender, and Maya to craft in-game visuals and assets.

C# and Java Console 

My programming journey had humble beginnings. It all started with simple ideas - creating text-based games in the console. Armed with languages like C# and Java, I ventured into the world of coding.

Those early days were marked by lines of code that brought interactive stories to life on the console screen. Everything from Adventure Games, RPGs to BlackJack. From these initial steps, I would go on to explore more complex projects, but it was these text-based games that ignited my passion for coding and set me on the path to becoming a programmer.
