Konrad Majer
Developer. Helsingborg, Sweden.
I am a developer in Helsingborg, on the west coast of Sweden. I build web applications, and unusually for someone at my stage, I also run the servers they live on.
I got here by building things that had to work for other people, and then fixing them when they did not. That is still how I learn: take something apart, find out what is holding it up, put it back together better. It is also why I am comfortable being handed a system I did not write.
Background.
Degree project
A platform for coordinating volunteers, built end to end. The interesting part was the rules around people's data: deleting an account properly, keeping a history that cannot be quietly edited afterwards, and making sure each person only sees what they should.
Systems Development, .NET
A two-year vocational degree in Sweden, built around working the way companies actually work: C# and .NET, databases, delivering in short cycles, and two placements inside real development teams.
My own infrastructure
A rented Linux server that I set up and maintain. It hosts every project linked from this site, each one kept separate from the others, with certificates renewed automatically and alerts if something stops responding.
