General

App Development

In 2022, I began my studies at the Stockholm Institute of Technology, specializing in Mobile App Development.

Over the course of my education, I’ve built web apps using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Next.js, and TypeScript, developed hybrid mobile apps with React Native and Node.js, and created native apps with Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android).

I have a strong foundation in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) with Java and earned two scholarships: Bästa Studieresultat and Bästa Examensarbete. My expertise extends to agile methodologies, Git/GitHub, Tailwind, and tools like Visual Studio Code, Android Studio, and Xcode.

Now, as a graduate, I’m developing my own apps at my independent coding studio, Rovenkodev.

Web Development

My web development journey began in 2017 at Nordens Teknikerinstitut Gymnasiet, where I built a strong foundation in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Since graduating, my passion for coding has only grown, leading me to create visually appealing, functional websites with modern frameworks like React, Next.js, and Tailwind.

Through continuous learning and hands-on projects, I’ve honed my skills in frontend development, focusing on seamless user experiences and cutting-edge design.

Game Development

From 2017 to 2021, I studied game development, specializing in Unity, Unreal Engine, and RPG Maker. I became proficient in C# scripting for Unity and Unreal Engine Blueprints, allowing me to develop a diverse portfolio of 2D and 3D games.

In addition to programming, I explored graphic design, using Photoshop, Blender, and Maya to create in-game visuals and assets. This combination of coding and design has given me a well-rounded skill set for building immersive gaming experiences.

C# and Java Console

My programming journey had humble beginnings, starting with simple text-based games in the console. Using C# and Java, I brought interactive stories to life—everything from adventure games and RPGs to Blackjack.

These early projects ignited my passion for coding, laying the foundation for my future as a developer. As I honed my skills, I ventured into more complex projects, but those first console-based games remain a defining moment in my journey toward becoming a programmer.
