Morten Olsen
Hi, I'm Morten and I make software 👋
As a software engineer with a diverse skill set in frontend, backend, and DevOps, I find my greatest satisfaction in unraveling complex challenges and transforming them into achievable solutions. My career has predominantly been in frontend development, but my keen interest and adaptability have frequently drawn me into backend and DevOps roles. I am driven not by titles or hierarchy but by opportunities where I can make a real difference through my work.
In every role, I strive to blend my technical skills with a collaborative spirit, focusing on contributing to team goals and delivering practical, effective solutions. My passion for development extends beyond professional settings; I continually engage in personal projects to explore new technologies and methodologies, keeping my skills sharp and current.
I am eager to find a role that aligns with my dedication to development and problem-solving, a place where I can apply my varied expertise to meaningful projects and grow within a team that values innovation and technical skill.

Frontend Technical Lead
Trendsales
In 2015, I spearheaded the creation of a new frontend architecture for Trendsales, leading to the development of m.trendsales.dk, using React and Redux, and devising bespoke frameworks for navigation, flexible routing, skeleton page transitions, and integrating workflows across systems like Github, Jira, Octopus Deploy, AppVeyor, and Docker.
iOS and Android Developer
Trendsales
I led the development of a new Xamarin-based iOS app from scratch at Trendsales, including a supporting API and backend work, culminating in a successful app with over 15 million screen views and 1.5 million sessions per month, and later joined a team to expand into Android development.
