As Lead Developer at PersonaleZonen, I was in charge of system architecture and development. I led our main projects, including a new Property Management System and our core employee benefits platform. I worked across the full stack, building backend services with Laravel and modern frontends with NextJS and NuxtJS. My role also included managing and scaling our cloud servers on Digitalocean and Hetzner to ensure high availability.
As a Fullstack Developer at Dreamlike, I thrived in a small, highly effective three-person team. We successfully launched a large-scale Danish esports platform and built custom applications, such as a complete vehicle booking system. My role was a unique blend of development and design; I wrote clean code using PHP, JavaScript and also designed user interfaces in AdobeXD. I worked directly with the lead developer to overcome challenges and deliver polished, high-quality websites for our clients.
My professional journey began at LaybackCPH, where I joined as an intern while finishing my degree. It was the perfect place to grow, and I quickly earned the trust of the team, allowing me to contribute to some of their biggest projects. Our specialty was using WordPress as a headless CMS, which gave us incredible flexibility to build unique frontends using [mention your stack]. This experience was fundamental for me; it’s where I truly honed my programming skills, learned from talented developers, and turned my passion into a full-time career.
Comment from my mentor
Magnus Vejlø
Marcus began his journey with us at Layback CPH as a Developer Apprentice in August 2019 and, upon completing his studies, was immediately hired as a full-time Developer.
His primary role was developing custom website solutions for a wide range of clients. Although hired as a developer, Marcus is as close to a full-stack developer as you can get today. During his time with us, his responsibilities spanned the entire project lifecycle, from hosting and server setup to the final product delivery.
Marcus is an incredibly fast learner. Regardless of the task or new technology he is presented with, it isn't long before he masters it. His varied responsibilities required a great deal of independence and initiative, which he consistently demonstrated. He maintains a clear overview and works autonomously, even during busy periods, and is always ready to go the extra mile when needed.
Furthermore, he is excellent at providing constructive solutions to diverse problems and is skilled at thinking outside the box. Marcus is well-liked by colleagues and partners, and his personality is perfectly suited for teamwork.
I give Marcus my warmest recommendations. I am certain that no matter which role he takes on in the future, he will make a fantastic contribution and be a huge resource for his next employer.

My journey into tech is driven by a genuine passion for programming that started in my youth. To build a professional foundation for my self-taught skills, I completed a 5.5-year Computer Science degree at TEC with a specialization in programming. I thrive on mastering new technologies by first understanding them deeply, which allows me to be both a thoughtful and highly efficient developer. This approach enables me to confidently build robust and well-crafted software.
