Andreas B is a software engineer based in Sweden with nine years of hands-on experience across front-end and back-end development. Currently studying software engineering at Linköping University, he balances academic projects with meaningful open-source contributions to the widely used Jellyfin media ecosystem. His work spans UI/UX improvements—fixing directory browser bugs, smoothing fullscreen play/pause transitions, and updating user wizards—and backend HLS enhancements that add codec, resolution, and frame-rate metadata while improving performance. That blend of polished frontend sensibilities and pragmatic backend engineering shows an attention to both user experience and streaming reliability. Colleagues can expect a developer who refactors for maintainability, squashes platform-specific issues like WebOS support, and brings student-driven curiosity to production-grade projects.
