Hello! My name is Henrik Sjöstrand I’m an experienced software developer who is fanatical about improving the way software is created.

Overview

Getting thrown straight into the action of something that’s falling apart is part of what I love.

I’ve acquired techniques for quickly patching things up and to get to a “safe” state. A state where the product can be gradually improved with minimal risk and whilst adding features.

I don’t believe in “big bang integrations” or “the complete rewrite” but to work in small batches, each validated and delivered.

During the years I’ve encountered and worked with a mix of technologies; among them:
