About Me
I'm Daniel Olov Mostad, a full-stack developer and 3D designer currently working as an IT Developer Apprentice at Visma Flyt. For me, IT has always been about the joy of creating. It started as curiosity in primary school, where I used commands in Minecraft to control the game, and quickly evolved into coding my own projects like websites. I'm driven by problem-solving and the thrill of making a computer execute my ideas.
After two years of vocational high school specializing in Information Technology, I started my apprenticeship in August 2025 to gain real-world experience. Today I work across a wide range of technologies including C#, ASP.NET, Vue.js, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB. I'm at my best when I can dive deep into the logic behind the code, and I thrive in both independent and collaborative environments — always bringing a curious, solution-oriented mindset to the table.
Beyond work, I spend a lot of my free time on hobby programming projects, exploring new languages and technologies like C and Python. I'm also into gaming — especially sandbox games where you can build something of your own — and I stay active through rock climbing, skating, bandy, and mountain hikes. People tend to describe me as both a "nerd" and an extrovert: I won't give up until I understand a problem, but I'm equally happy organizing social events and helping others with technical challenges.
