Hey, I’m John
Bad At Computer is my portfolio site. Here you’ll find projects and musings related to my work in software development.
I’m based in Sweden with a passion for developing and maintaining impactful, useful applications. I draw inspiration from futurism and retro tech, and I focus on solutions that are innovative, yet simple and resilient.
