WHO?

I am a hardworking person with courage to learn new things and look at new challenges as new possibilities for learning and experiences. I strive for best possible communication with the team I am part of and therefore very conscious of responsibility. When I work I highly value great teamwork and thorough planning.

Through education and the reflection of my hobbies I realized that I love to be creative. Throughout the last few years, I have had a focus describing ideas and lift projects through both analysing and design.

Education

Ever since I was 5, I think, I have loved games, then technology and I have only recently realized that creativity is a big part of what matters to be and a big part of my love of games too. Because of all than and much more I decided to take a HTX education (Higher Technical Exam), where you honed basic skills, like language and math, but also skills like, basic programming, product creation and sale, video editing and photo manipulation etc.

After that I worked a lot, whilst trying to figure out what I wanted to do. Ended up doing earning well working in a convenience store and eventually I found out my next step. Computer science! I moved to Grenaa and took the education. This degree gave me a lot of knowledge. Learned a lot about object-oriented programming in C# and later C++. I excelled at analytics, which includes pre-production, system management methods (Waterfall, UP, SCRUM) and UX. UX, UI (front-end programming) and web programming ended up being what I liked the most. Since Computer Science is quite heavy in back-end programming, it might have been the wrong choice for me in the end, but I learned a lot.

I plan to take the education multimedia designer, as it is much more of what I love, and you learn a lot about intricate and technical things that aren’t nearly as code heavy, and you have a lot more room to be creative and I will get a degree that fit my skillset much better. I think it is going to be a fantastic time. 

Hobbies

Because of my ADHD I have a ton of hobbies which I keep looping between. As mentioned, I love gaming and from that hobby others have bloomed. I have played games for almost 20 years and since I love almost every genre I have played so, so many games that it almost seems insane. Over 700 games played to completion over 220 games with 100% completion. I love it.

Because of how much I play, I learned a lot about computers, so I could build my own and what gaming hardware was the best. With that I build about a dozen PCs for myself and about half a dozen for others. I have even put that knowledge to good use, as I wrote articles for Gamingmagazinet.dk about some of it.

With so many games played, I began recommending or told which games to stay away from to friends and eventually that let me to create reviews for games. That ended up being a okay idea, as people in general liked my opinions and as I am very versatile in my game genre taste I could be myself in others shoes and tell whether or not the game can be recommended even though it might not have been for me.

Whilst I am a huge gaming nerd, I do have hobbies that isn’t strictly gaming related too! I love being creative, so I try to be as creative as I can. An old hobby I recently have started up again is drawing. I am a bit of a perfectionist, so I rarely satisfied with them and therefore rarely shared, but once in a blue moon I do create something that looks decent. My sister Simone could beat me any day of the week when it comes to drawing talent though. As I suck at perspectives, I mostly do logo or UI art in a clean cartoonish style. Kind of like the logo for this website.

As mentioned, I sometimes write reviews for games. Well, that did eventually lead me to writing larger pieces of fiction. As I like writing as much as I do, it only came natural to start writing books. A hobby I can thank my good, good friend Kim for starting. She was the one who told me what the best way to start was and help me get over my insecurities towards it. As of right now I have only written a Novella called “Within Me”, but I have 2 other novellas planned and a full Novel in pre-production.

The newest hobby of mine might not come as a surprise. It is photography! For years I have been very fascinated about photography. I have watched James Popsys for about 3 years and creators like him. I studied basic knowledge about camera equipment and what to know for some time too, so I finally decided to start. I haven’t been doing it for long, and most of my pictures are probably trash, but It is so fun it just go out and have fun and be creative in the wild Scandinavian wilderness (you know… Bushes, a few trees, grass and the occasional cat).
