Summary
Elena Karlsen is a product-focused developer with eight years of experience building web products across Stockholm’s startup and design-driven companies. She has blended hands-on front-end engineering with technical product management at firms like Lifesum and Tibber, shipping user-facing features and influencing roadmap decisions. Her background spans full-stack work and polished UI implementation from agencies to consumer tech, reflecting a pragmatic balance between design sensibility and engineering rigor. Trained in information technology and bolstered by multiple Udacity credentials and data-science coursework, she brings curiosity and a habit of continuous learning to every project. Now at ABC Labs, she continues to bridge product thinking and engineering execution, often gravitating toward solving UX complexity rather than just backend plumbing. Colleagues describe her as a restless, curious problem-solver who turns vague product goals into concrete, usable interfaces.
