Casper Kristiansson.

Hey there, I'm Casper

I am an ambitious MSc in Computer Science from the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, with a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering.

I have a robust track record of successful projects displayed in my portfolio. Beyond academics, I co-founded impactful companies, one focused on traffic analytics in the USA, and another providing specialized IT consulting services in Sweden. I have further engaged in contract work, such as with Scatterin, where I applied my skillset in full-stack development, with a specific focus on cloud development. Additionally, I gained hands-on experience through a rewarding backend developer internship at Northvolt. Outside the tech realm, I indulge in exhilarating outdoor activities like skiing and mountain biking.
