Helga here. 👋

Generalist developer · Open-source contributor · occasional negotiator with CI

I build across frontend, backend, and infrastructure—mostly because bugs refuse to respect team boundaries.

Animated terminal introducing Helga and her developer status

What I'm usually doing

  • Building practical software instead of another todo app. The world has enough.
  • Making TypeScript behave and writing Swift when pixels need opinions.
  • Automating repetitive work, then debugging the automation. Progress is progress.
  • Contributing to open source with useful PRs and suspiciously detailed commit messages.

Tools I reach for

TypeScript Swift Git GitHub Actions Azure

Current operating mode

Signal Status
Shipping Small, useful increments
Debugging The bug and I are getting to know each other
Docs Read before panic. Usually.
Collaboration Open to thoughtful, well-scoped work
Highly scientific developer metrics
  • Tabs open: a responsible amount, legally speaking.
  • “Works on my machine”: currently under peer review.
  • TODO comments: some have developed personalities.
  • Coffee → code conversion: lossless on good days.

I like software that solves the problem before it starts a new one.
