Emil O. Hjort

Software developer with 9+ years of experience building scalable web applications and frontend platforms.
I love having ownership of solutions from idea to production, and the technical challenges of ensuring good performance, easy maintainability, and a smooth developer experience.

At Bankdata, I’ve worked across ~10 teams to standardize frontend practices, improve reliability, and reduce onboarding time through shared guidelines and CLI tooling.

I'm full-stack capable, but in my current role I have been working with large-scale frontend architecture, including microfrontends, design systems, and developer tooling.

I have backend experience with Node.js, Express, GraphQL, and serverless functions, and I build full-stack side projects using Nuxt, Tailwind, PostgreSQL and MongoDB on a VPS in my spare time.
