About me

My name is Erik Lissel, and I am years old. I am crazy about programming patterns and making code that has as low complexity as possible. I am currently very warm towards JavaScript and the functional patterns it enables. I work as a senior software developer at the consultant company Piktiv. When I am not staring at a screen I enjoy: downhill skiing, tabletop games, and singing.
