Front End Developer Vicki Jacobson

My strength lies within my passion for learning new things and develop new skills. I thrive in a fast moving enviroment and I'm an excellent multitasker that can quickly change focus if needed. I love exploring outside the frames of my position and has always been an appreciated colleague. I value a good and healthy work enviroment and flexibility above all else. What I bring to a team is a positive attitude, energy and new perspectives and ideas.

I follow where my curiosity leads me. I often start my mornings with meditation and yoga. I love to read a good book, both fiction and non-fiction. I have a great passion for psychology and mental health. I was a pop artist and music producer for many years and music has always been a big part of my life. At the end of the day I like to play video games, by myself or with friends, to relax. I live with my long-term partner and our two cats, Baine and Magni.
