Robin Larsson

Developer with over 13 years of professional experience

I have a strong passion for web development, from engaging in solution discussions to delivering finished projects. With experience as a technical project leader and proficiency in both frontend and backend development, I possess a well-rounded skill set. My interests also extend to usability and interaction design, as I believe in creating intuitive and user-friendly experiences.

My journey in web development began in 2002 when I created a web page for a school project. Since then, my dedication to this field has only grown stronger, leading me to pursue a career in it. I pursued my studies in the Web and Multimedia program at Karlstad University in Sweden, further enhancing my knowledge and skills.

As a person, I am known for being energetic, persistent, studious, and independent. I never give up easily and always maintain a strong focus on the tasks at hand. In terms of technical expertise, I excel in JavaScript within a Mac, Windows or Linux-based development environment.

Currently, I am working as a frontend developer with a specific focus on the ExpertInsight product at Definitive Healthcare.
