I ask about the warehouse first
Before I read the code, I want to know who waits when it breaks: a driver, a planner or a finance clerk on a Friday.
About
I learned backend work on a loading dock.
At nineteen I spent a summer scanning pallets at a cold-storage warehouse outside Borås. The handheld scanners froze twice a shift and the drivers waited in the cab while we wrote numbers on paper. I went to study computer science that autumn mostly to understand why.
What I am like to work with
Former managers tend to describe the same four things, so I will save you the reference calls.
I finish the boring half
Runbooks, dashboards and the migration that removes the old table. Shipping the feature is only half the ticket.
I make juniors loud
The best signal in a team is a new engineer asking a question in the open channel. I try to make that feel normal.
I protect my mornings
Deep work before lunch, meetings and pairing after. It keeps the pager calmer and my reviews sharper.

Want the longer story over coffee?
I am happy to do a relaxed video call before any formal interview loop.
