Introducing Peter
A full stack web developer with outstanding
attention to detail and project management
skills producing high-quality websites,
web applications, and games.
About Me
Hey there! 👋
I am Peter, a full stack web developer based in Copenhagen, Denmark 🇩🇰 who helps companies establish a strong digital presence by designing and developing beautiful and user-friendly websites of highest possible quality.
As a developer proficient in React and TypeScript, the web applications I build are scalable and the code I write is readable and easy to manage and expand upon, both for myself and for other developers.
I don't shy away from learning new technologies, and I definitely don't mind challenges, quite the opposite. I like to constantly sharpen my problem-solving skills by tackling new projects and opportunities in order to grow as a developer.
Moreover, I would describe myself as a very responsible person who deeply cares about the end user, therefore I make sure they always have a smooth and intuitive user experience, and I like to make my web apps as secure as possible.
Last but not least, I am a team player at heart who likes to cooperate and learn from and with my colleagues and develop positive relationships at the workplace.
Besides coding I really enjoy playing my guitar and singing (although I am not really a singer), learning foreign languages, riding and repairing bicycles, and cooking vegan food. 🍕

Projects I worked on:

Sustainable Innovation Camp
#Website
Project Details
Sustainable Innovation Camp is a recurring event organized around Denmark by Sustainary for university students and recent graduates, who work in teams to tackle real-world problems that require innovative and sustainable solutions.
By signing up for a camp, the participants take part in a series of workshops on how sustainability is shaping business, followed by a 3 to 5 days case-competition in the scope of sustainable innovation.
My contribution for this event was to design and create a website, which included a landing page, separate pages for each camp, and a form to sign up for a camp.
I made it very easy to update this website by creating a template for a new camp, which can simply be copied and quickly filled out, and subsequently hooked to the rest of the wesbite.
Moreover, I have created a single source of truth for all the information about all the camps. The status of a camp can be either upcoming or past, depending on if it is about to take place or if it has already taken place. This status is changed in one place and updated automatically throughout the whole website without any manual intervention (camps are automatically sorted in the Camps page, and they are added or removed from the sign up form on their own).
The sign up form was managed using React's useReducer hook, and REST Countries API was used to extract country information and insert them into each dropdown option for selecting phone prefixes.
Finally, I have used a wide array of technologies to develop this website, mainly React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS for creating separate pages and components, ensuring type safety, and styling. React Router DOM was used for client-side routing, and meta tags were inserted into each page with the help of React Helmet Async. Server-side logic for validating data and sending emails was initially written in Node.js, but was later rewritten in Next.js in order to deploy the project on Vercel. Sending emails was handled using SendGrid, and the code was tracked by Git and hosted on GitHub. Last but not least, code quality and consistent formatting was assured with ESLint and Prettier.

Sustainary
#Website
Project Details
As a web developer at Sustainary, I contributed to the redesign and recreation of the main website of this organization.
The goal was to showcase all of the ongoing and past events and initiatives of Sustainary, as well as its current team members and interns. Moreover, the redesign was supposed to bring more clarity to the end user and make it easy to navigate the website.
All of us at the web and design team have put together the initial wireframes and designed the website overall in Figma. Subsequently, we turned the design into the website itself using Elementor.

Little Lemon
#Website
Project Details
Little Lemon is a name of a fictional Mediterranean restaurant located in Chicago. Creating a website for this restaurant was the final project of the Meta Front-End Developer Professional Certificate provided by Meta on Coursera, during which I learned how to work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Git, React, and Figma.
I started off by properly researching the needs of the restaurant and creating wireframes and prototype for the website in Figma. React was subsequently used for development along with CSS for styling and React Router DOM for client-side navigation across pages.
As this restaurant specializes in Mediterranean cuisine, its design is meant to reflect a bright, warm, summer aesthetic.
The website features the restaurant's menu, history, testimonials, and a form to reserve a table.

SDG Tech Awards 2023
#Website
Project Details
SDG Tech Awards is an annual event that celebrates and recognizes the importance of sustainable innovation across various sectors and fields. It is organized by Sustainary, and in 2023 it celebrates its 5th anniversary in Denmark.
My job as a web developer at Sustainary was to contribute to the recreation of the main website of the event while focusing on properly conveying the message that the event celebrated an anniversary.
The website had kept much of its former design but was given several visual upgrades, most notably the overall darker theme in order to communicate the fact that the event has become a staple in the Copenhagen sustainable tech ecosystem.

Peter Roman Portfolio
#Website
Project Details
Designed and coded by me from scratch, the portofolio website you are currently viewing has my name written all over it, and it describes what I stand for and how I work.
I enjoy crafting products to the very last detail and producing high quality outputs, which look professional and neat. It is important for me that my client and I both feel proud of the final product.
Programatically, this portfolio is a fully responsive single-page application featuring an interactive projects gallery, responsive navigation, as well as the use of object-oriented programming, various Web APIs, CSS variables, transitions, animations, and more.
The inspiration for the visuals of this portfolio came primarily from the UI of Visual Studio Code and Mac devices. It is divided into 4 sections, each representing a different language. The Home and About sections represent HTML and CSS respectively and utilize their respective markup, while the Projects section is full of interactivity as it represents JavaScript.

Jump Over Cacti!
#VideoGame
Project Details
This endless runner game was inspired by the Dinosaur Game, which runs in Google Chrome when there is no internet connection.
The gameplay is straightforward, your job is to jump over as many cacti as possible and get as many points as you can. To jump, press the Spacebar on your keyboard or tap the screen on your touchscreen device. To pause the game, press the Pause Game button or the Escape key.
This JavaScript game is packed with details and my goal was to make the user experience smooth, and for the environment to feel alive, mainly by using lots of animations happening simultaneously (cacti moving, clouds floating, player jumping and blinking, shadow and score resizing). This led to many consideration in terms of performance. The design is all done is CSS and sound effects are all created by me.
