Profile

Hello, my name is Anders Gerner and I am an experienced Scrum Master, Team Lead, and Web & App Developer with several years of experience working with frontend development in React, React Native with JavaScript/TypeScript in Node.js environments. I have a strong background in creating web applications using Next.js and app development with React Native and Expo.

My passion for UX and Behavior Driven Development helps create solutions that are both technically sound and user-friendly, making testing phases shorter and quicker. I believe that the greatest solutions and problem-solving within development come from teamwork and open communication, always being open to listening to others' ideas and trying different approaches.

With a degree in Computer Science, I initially learned Java and C#, but eventually shifted my focus to web development, mastering PHP, JavaScript, and later TypeScript with Node.js. With over 9 years of professional experience, I have held various roles such as supporter, developer, scrum master, product owner, and business owner, which allows me to bridge the gap between business and technical aspects of projects.

In addition to my preferred frameworks and tools like React, Next.js, Expo, and Prisma, I am always open to learning new technologies and adapting to different frameworks as needed. As a developer, I am practical, solution-oriented, and quick to address issues without reinventing the wheel.

I am a friendly and approachable teammate who always welcomes new challenges and enjoys helping others reach their potential.

Bio

I characterize myself as innovative, creative thinking, people-oriented, eager to learn, business- and solution-oriented, and passionate about technology.

Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of companies, including some of Denmark's largest organizations. With certifications in Scrum Master and SAFe, I'm experienced in implementing agile methodologies while adapting to the unique needs of each company.

My passion lies in innovation and the creative process, always seeking new ways to approach challenges and deliver the best possible solutions. I am committed to helping both newly educated and experienced individuals reach their potential, even though I am not a trained coach.

Ambitious and always striving for growth, I continuously develop both personally and professionally. My technical profile is defined by my belief in the future of JavaScript and TypeScript, dedicating my spare time to staying updated on the latest trends and honing my skills through personal projects. Additionally, I have experience with various AWS services and the Jelastic setup.
