Hello, I'm Robert. Staff Software Engineer from Sweden, currently working at Grafana Labs. I'm passionate about building apps that make a difference and transforming complex technology into intuitive user experiences. My expertise spans Flutter, Swift, and TypeScript, with a love for software architecture and building frameworks that other developers can use. I enjoy mentoring teammates and seeing ideas come to life as real products. When I'm not coding at work, you'll find me working on open source projects or my own apps.
