About cNille

cNille is my freelance company offering software development and consulting services with a focus on web development and modern technologies.

About Me

My name is Christopher Nilsson (nickname Nille). I’m a full-stack developer passionate about building robust, user-friendly, and high-performance web applications. I’ve been freelancing on the side since 2014, and have been working in IT development full-time since graduating in 2018.

My career has taken me through the consulting firm Netlight and various startups in the Stockholm area, focusing on foodtech and edtech. These experiences have given me broad competence in both frontend and backend development, as well as insight into how to build and scale products from the ground up.

Expertise

  • Web Development: Modern web applications with React, TypeScript, and more
  • Elixir & Phoenix: Functional programming for reliable systems
  • Full-Stack Development: Django, Node.js, and various databases
  • Tech Leadership: Experience building and leading tech teams
  • Product Development: From idea to finished product

Working Style

I believe in understanding the problem thoroughly before building the solution. I like to understand how things work, which makes me always seek deep understanding of both technical and business aspects. This approach has served me well in everything from migrating legacy platforms to building new features from scratch.
