Bio
Jacob Munk-Stander
I have known Michael since 2011 and I have always enjoyed working with him both personally and professionally. Michael has the two key ingredients I value the most: passion and curiosity. He has a keen interest in the final result of his work and has a real interest in learning about new technologies that could be better to use in the future. In that sense Michael never stands still but keeps learning and evolving to do better. Michael is one of the few trusted people I turned to wrt. the startup I'm working on. That says a lot about how much I value his knowledge.
Rasmus Kahl
Over 6 months time, I worked together with Michael on a huge self service project for a big Telco company in Denmark - and it was a true pleasure. Michael managed to bring the teams UX and design work to life, with some quality front-end work, with some fantastic micro transitions and animations. I can highly recommend Michael. His front-end qualities are at very high level, and he has brilliant understanding of building products that not only looks great - but also has focus on the UX. With Michael on the team, your chances of creating a killer product are high :)

Halifax (via Leadout ApS)
-
Apr 2018 - Sep 2018
Hybrid app, e.g. web app wrapped in an iOS shell that would replace Halifax's current white label table booking system. Instead of a simple replacement, they wanted support for preordering food and drinks from home and ordering in the restaurant. Proposed a solution in which the booking initiator can share a link to the booking, allowing each guest to choose what they want on their own device, collaboratively adding to the same order in real time. The collaborative parts of the app were implemented using web sockets, ensuring that the order always stays up to date, even if the waiter adds something while the customer has the app open.
