Mikkel Ørum Skovgaard-Petersen
Design Engineer
I focus on solving problems over implementing features!
I am a designer using code as my primary tool. I build software, using the technologies that enable me to do so most efficiently - often that means not using a framework or relying more on the built-in functionality of modern HTML and CSS. I always think about the big picture before I code - it is not enough to be precise, accuracy is needed to build the right solution.
I focus on delivering great software that not only works well for the users, but ties in well with the overall business goals. I prefer to work closely with users to understand the challenges they face and come up with the best solutions in collaboration with them. Using this approach I have consistently been able to improve efficiency, retention and user happiness with just a few days of work.
Where do I provide most value?
Website
App (SAAS)
Web based applications rather than websites.
Designer
Developer
Designing functionality and interaction, then implementing.
Detail
Big picture, strategy
In the end it's more about what value we deliver not how we got there.
