A freelancing backend developer

Portrait of Simon

Developer since 2012

I’m Simon Adrell - a senior developer that decided to start CodeBySimon during 2024. I got into freelancing to have the ability to embrace the flexibility of working remotely and pursuing projects that align more closely with my passions.

My journey as developer started out in 2012 and since then have I been working with everything between C# to react native, to Svelte and Sveltekit to Azure and the world of devops. and much much more. In recent years it has become mainly .NET, C# and Azure.

Vanlifer since 2021

Outside work I am an easy-going person who’s always up for a laugh. I love both exploring new places and hiking. My favorite city is Porto in Portugal and if I had to choose one of the best places for a hike it would be Picos de Europa in northern Spain or Central massif in France.

In 2021 my partner and I decided to set off on a European adventure, the idea was that we would be out on a trip to Spain and Portugal for six months with our campervan. Only a couple months into the trip we felt that it really was something we liked and now we are here 3 years later and we cancelled the lease on our apartment. We have been everywhere from the mountains in Scotland to the Sunsoaked beaches of Greece.
