Hello! I’m Niklas
Sales & Tech Developer
Stockholm
I’m passionate about exploring the intersection of technology, creativity, and sales—whether it’s coding, building automations, or experimenting with local LLMs. Outside of work, I’m into coffee, photography, and finding ways to make everyday things a little better.
Originally from Germany, I’m now based in Stockholm.
