About.
Hi! My name is Marvin and I am a 38 year old former digital nomad who achieved his dream of settling down in rural Norway.
Building things for the web and generally tinkering with everything digital has been fun since my teenage years so I when I got tired of my corporate job I decided to do it professionally while traveling around SE Asia.
Now I'm looking back at over 10 years of experience in development ranging from small non-profit to large enterprise projects. Add to that 20+ years of IT project management and Quality Assurance. Besides that I focus on building strong relationships with my clients.
I am introverted, highly-sensitive, and vegan 🌱. My most important values are love, freedom, and growth.
My friends describe me as attentive, reliable, and thoughtful with a lot of foresight and patience as well as a let's-get-this-done attitude. Additionally I have an eye for detail while still keeping the big picture in mind.
I love reading, playing with food cooking and classic rock (mostly British; my favorites are Marillion, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, and Genesis) although on a daily basis I usually listen to symphonic metal.
My brain is constantly asking for fresh input so I try to keep up with that desire by picking up new topics to learn about and creating interesting (and sometimes useful!) things.
The most recent examples are playing guitar and 3D modeling which comes in handy to visualize and plan DIY projects such as a market trailer for a farmer friend to sell produce.
Kayak and woodworking are fun ways for me to achieve balance between digital and analogue life.
