Emil O. Hjort

Senior frontend developer with 9+ years of experience building scalable web applications and frontend platforms.

I specialize in large-scale frontend architecture, including microfrontends, design systems, and developer tooling.

At Bankdata, I’ve worked across ~20 teams to standardize frontend practices, improve reliability, and reduce onboarding time through shared guidelines and CLI tooling.

My focus is on performance, maintainability, and developer experience, and I take ownership of solutions from idea to production.

I have hands-on backend experience with Node.js, Express, GraphQL, and serverless functions, and I maintain full-stack side projects using Nuxt and MongoDB.
