About me

Career

Hi, I'm Lars, a software engineer driven by a passion for web-based applications and mixed reality.

My journey began with a love for programming in school, leading me to pursue a degree in applied computer science (B. Sc.) and media computer science (M. Sc.).

I had the opportunity to take the theory from my studies into reality through my work with various universities and private companies.

From learning platforms to mixed reality applications, I thrive on pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

Let's build something incredible together!
