Malin Fossum — Selected work

Hi, I’m Malin.

I’m a developer in Norway, building for web and desktop with a focus on accessibility, clean structure, and strong fundamentals. I came to code from social work, and everything I build is open source.

About

Social work taught me to listen carefully and meet people where they are. Software, for me, is the same instinct in a different medium. Accessibility and clean structure are how I make sure it shows in the work.
