About me
Curious generalist.
Persistent tinkerer.
I'm Jóhan Gaardbo, a 31-year-old developer from Denmark. By day I build software across systems and platforms. After hours, I usually disappear into a game prototype.
GaardboDev is where those experiments live: finished games, technical prototypes, small web projects, and honest notes about what each one taught me.

The short version
A practical path into making software.
I learn best by building. The thread through my education, professional work, and personal projects is a preference for real problems and complete systems.
2018 — 2021
Computer Science AP Graduate
Studied software development, programming, databases, and system design in Denmark.
How I work
Small scope. Full ownership.
Start small
Find the smallest version of an idea that can already feel useful or fun.
Touch the whole thing
Code, visuals, interaction, sound, deployment — I like understanding the complete shape.
Finish the loop
A modest project in someone’s hands teaches me more than a grand one sitting unfinished.
Personal practice
Making games end to end
I work across gameplay, progression, UI, pixel art, sound, release prep, and player feedback. The scope stays small enough that I can understand and shape the whole thing.

Professional practice
Building software that has to last
I take internal products from stakeholder dialogue and solution design through development, deployment, integrations, and maintenance.
