Bits about me

Some time during 2021 I hit a big wall of non-progress. I'd been doing more or less the same work for more than two decades, and I realised that if I wanted an opening in that wall, I had to make one myself. Applying to and being accepted into a two-year course in web development became that opening.

If I get to take some things with me from my old career, then it would be the love for simplicity, structure and straight lines. The portfolio page is an example of this.

I'm a cat person with an interest in science fiction, creativty, movies, functional training and the absurd. I enjoy short descriptions.

Magnus Vargvinter

Web developer

Hi! My name is Magnus and this is my portfolio page. I graduated May 2024 from the Web Development course at Yrgo in Gothenburg, Sweden. I'm currently looking for work as a junior web developer.

This page contains an assortment of projects I've worked on, some of which I was the only one involved, while others were created in cooperation with fellow students. Some of the older ones are pretty simple, but I still love them all.
