Work experience

• Oct 2017 - Today

  Abstraktion Development (Self-employed)

  I established Abstraktion Development back in 2017, to work solely as a freelance developer. I’ve since then worked with multiple clients, both with in-house projects and as an external on-site developer. I’ve primarily worked with native iOS development, but have also come across multiple projects regarding web development, SEO, online advertising, analytics, hosting etc.
  
  In the years to come it is my goal to continue working freelance, primarily with native iOS development. Therefore, I’ve mainly included my work experience with larger iOS projects in this resume. For further information please refer to my Linkedin profile.
