Sixten Linusson Email & Phone Number

Swedish software engineer who stumbled into the professional world through building things for fun. While studying engineering physics at KTH Royal Institute Of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, I started learning Japanese for fun. The Japanese learning community that I was part of had an over-representation of software engineers, many of which made tools to aid their and others studies. I saw these tools and thought to myself "I can do this too", and dove in head first. After a couple of years I had honed my skills and become a prominent figure in the community for my many and varied addons. My most successful ones boasting over 10,000 users. Since my beginnings as a hobbyist I have moved on to work on a wide range of personal projects (many of which will never see the light of day), using a different technologies. While I have my roots in JavaScript, my diverse interests have brought me in contact with an equally diverse cast of languages and tooling, including JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, HTML, Angular, React, SQL, Rust, Go, Java, C, C++, C#, Python, Git, SVN, Docker, Node, and more. As a self taught engineer computer science has proven to be a passion of mine, and I am always working hard to learn more and fill out any gaps in my knowledge. Since 2021 I have been pursuing a degree in Computer Science by taking online classes, and am hoping to complete my studies in 2025. In my professional career as a software engineer I have worked primarily on SaaS webapps to build new features and maintaining & modernizing legacy applications. This includes building (and often re-building) components in front-end frameworks, as well as working on services server side. At my current job we build scheduling software for universities, used by administrators and students alike. It has been a joy to build complex yet performant applications which serve hundreds of thousands of users. I am always looking for a new challenge and opportunities to learn something new.
