Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndreas Larsen is a Copenhagen-based Technical Lead with 11 years of experience designing and shipping polished frontends that balance product, process and people. A frontend fanatic and type tinkerer, he pairs hands-on engineering with UX sensibility—authoring critically acclaimed typefaces and automating build-and-release workflows for projects like the Monoid coding font. He’s led teams at Festina Finance after senior frontend roles at Medable and LEO Innovation Lab, and co-created consumer iOS apps and small client sites as an independent "devsigner." Comfortable moving between design, tooling and release automation, Andreas also brings atypical domain empathy from years working in healthcare roles. He speaks publicly about frontend craft, organizes community meetups, and favors open source optimism as a force for better developer tools and products.
