About Me
Hello, my name is Arvid, and I’m currently trying to become a developer. I am attending a course as a .NET developer and will soon be ready for actual jobs.
My main qualities include teamwork, .NET-development in C# and leadership
Projects
A class library for the purpose of validation and conversion of NCCSV-files
As a part of our internship at SND, the Swedish National Data Service, we developed a class library to help validate and parse NCCSV-files. The library is meant to be implemented into other projects, as a way to make NCCSV more accessible.
Experience
Internship at SND and Fore Development
Intern
SND August - November 2023, Fore Development January - April 2024
Tried my hand at .NET-development with different projects
During my internship at SND I worked on a class library for the validation and conversion of NCCSV-files. At Fore development I got to work on different projects at Fore Development, both for their homepage and with their client Ntricity who specializes in electricity. I got to work with React.js, SQL databases and Git.
Delivered software, invoices and sales support whilst wrestling with SAP
As a part of the customer service team in Wolters Kluwer, I juggled order and invoice processing with answering customer mail and helping the sales team make sales that complied with the technical limitation of our SAP-solution and surrounding delivery systems. We sold software for bookkeeping and the tricky part of having a slightly older system for supplying the customer with the promised programs. It required clear communication both internally and externally to make sure both the customers and colleagues were content, despite long delivery times due to technichal limitations. Currently on unpaid leave for studies.

Education
Your IT-career begins here!
A Higher Vocational Education with the purpose of quickly making it’s students into full-fledged developers. I learned such skills as C#, database development with both SQL and NoSQL, web development with HTML, JavaScript and Blazor, working in projects with SCRUM among other things. I was elected class representative to be part of the Education board and was responsible for the class’ shared coffee fund.
Leadership and project management
A one year course focused on practical leadership and project management, where I learned skills and frameworks such as the FIRO theory, Theatre of the Oppresed and motivational interviewing (MI). All moments were very focused on practical experience, and were taught both by the use of thatre and dramatic reenaction or bu getting put in real situations. Among other things we got to be responsible for a two day education for about 70 12-year-old students focused on the prevention of alcohol use, drug use and gambling. We also planned and held a party for the whole school of about 200 students.
