Hi there !
my name is Simon Wahlström and I'm a developer
About Me
I've always had a profound interest for computers. When I was around 13 years old I stumbled upon an e-book about Batch programming. After writing my first "Hello World" I knew right away what I wanted to do when I grew up. Since then I've devoted myself to become a great developer and I've never doubted my career choice. I don't code because I have to. I do it because I love it.
