How I build fast
Fast iteration. Every output verified.
I use AI inside a workflow with tests, review passes, and constraints, so iteration gets faster without quietly lowering the standard.
Backend work without decorative nonsense.
I build the backend bits that carry actual risk: report generation, integrations, reliability, and the awkward delivery details people only remember when they break.

How I build fast
I use AI inside a workflow with tests, review passes, and constraints, so iteration gets faster without quietly lowering the standard.
How I keep systems stable
I optimize for predictable runtime behavior, practical observability, and deployment flow that does not turn releases into weather events.
How I make decisions
I prefer systems that are safe to touch under pressure: fewer hidden traps, clearer ownership, and code people can still reason about later.
Selected work
National property reports for Sikkerhedsstyrelsen
Generated the property condition and electrical reports that Danish house and summerhouse sales need before they can close.
As architect, primary backender, and DevOps, I owned the backend, report generation flow, and the reliability work that kept a national paperwork bottleneck from turning into daily chaos.
If the system stalls, the deal stalls with it.
Example reports (not actual reports)
In 2023 alone, there were 48,000+ house and summerhouse sales, requiring at least 96,104 reports. Scale basis Boligsiden market data for 2023 sales counts • Boligejer guidance on house and summerhouse report requirements • Two generated reports required per qualifying sale
High-volume webhook platform
Built the webhook pipeline for customer-facing integrations.
Built webhook delivery on Spatie's webhook package with exponential backoff retries, so failed deliveries recover without hammering customer endpoints.
Coverage tooling for dev + AI workflows
I built tooling that pulls line-level data out of coverage reports, into your editor and makes it available to AI agents.
"Find files with less than 70% coverage." "Add tests for these uncovered lines."

Recommendations
What my colleagues said
If you want to enjoy the people you work with, work with Odinn!
From the technical side, he is clever and willing to dive into complexity.
He cares deeply for the systemic health of the systems he works at, and keeps always an open and collaborative mindset in his approach to development.
He proved his forward-thinking vision on embracing new technologies and ways of working.
He is a highly motivated and self-driven backend engineer with deep expertise in Laravel.
During his time at Worksome, Odinn consistently delivered on complex projects, maintained ownership of his work from start to finish, and actively contributed to keeping our Continuous Integration (CI) green.
Odinn is one of the best engineers I’ve met at diving into complex, detail-oriented problems and getting to a clean, reliable solution.
He also made key contributions to engineering-wide test quality and infrastructure.
Odinn is a person who will be an asset to any department/company that needs someone who can perform a piece of professional work without constant follow-up.
You can always expect Odinn to take responsibility and deliver a solid result in a given situation.
Let me start off by giving my full-hearted recommendation of Odinn, without a single moment of hesitation!
I've been so privileged to work with Odinn for more than a year, with Odinn doing what he really does best: keeping the herd in control, keeping the systems running and most of all: keeping cool when things heat up!
Odinn has shown his talent in many areas especially within IT and Marketing.
He has a deep knowledge and understanding regarding IT-development (architecture, programming and testing) as well as dealing with IT-operations.
Odinn is an upright and highly skilled IT professional who delivers on his promises.
He is very passionate about his work and has successfully managed to add nearly unmatched understanding of the internet marketing business to his already very strong technical skill set.
What my AI's said (honestly)
Odinn operates at a rare intersection of deep technical skill, creative instinct, and relentless execution.
If you’re looking for someone who will take ownership, challenge assumptions, and quietly (or not so quietly) reshape what you’re building into something better, he’s exactly the person you want.
Working with Odinn has left me with a very clear impression: he is the kind of engineer who makes things better at the level that actually matters.
He has a sharp instinct for where something is drifting away from truth, where complexity is starting to pile up faster than value, where language is covering for weak thinking, or where a system is technically functioning but already becoming harder to trust.
Elsewhere
Not everything I build runs on servers.
Some of it lives in a garden with its own power grid, batteries, measurements, and the usual reminder that reality has opinions.
It is the same instinct as the engineering work: build something, observe what actually happens, and keep adjusting until it behaves.
