Victor Fagerström
Senior iOS Developer
About Me
Hi! My name is Victor Fagerström. I am an enthusiastic app developer, who has been building apps for the Apple platform since 2013, with a wide variety of tools and frameworks. I have been working as an iOS developer for the past six years at Storytel and Leeroy. Before and during that time I have also developed my own apps that I provide on App Store. In combination with iOS development, I have also been leading full-stack agile development teams over the past two years. I have studied Computer Science and International Business Economics.
I specialize in building well-architected, customer-centric and scalable mobile applications, mainly for iOS. With technical knowledge and experience, combined with an aptitude for people, communication and organization, I help businesses, development teams and individuals develop solutions and meet targets, while thriving.
Being a creative nerd, I enjoy working with people and product to create great user experiences, backed by solid technological solutions. I am a quick learner and I love exploring new business domains, understanding the technical needs and convert that into quality code.
I use my spare time to build my own app ideas, spend time with friends and family, work on the house, play golf and music, grow bonsai, cut opals and watch TV.
Open for assignments in Stockholm / Remote.

Victor is one of the best developers that i had the pleasure of working with.
With great development skills, he tackles every problem with enthusiasm and is not afraid to take on the most difficult of assignments. His calm and collected mindset makes him excellent at completing his tasks within the given timeframe, while still managing to deliver solutions of the highest quality.
With Victor in your team it is a guarantee that satisfaction and efficiency will increase, as he makes sure that every team member feels included, sees the path forward and aims for the common goal ahead.
Personally, I have a great gratitude for Victor. He bestowed deep development knowledge upon me that has been most useful throughout my career. I can not remember a single day working by Victor's side that was not truly enjoyable.
Pablo Santiago
CTO, Leeroy
By the time I joined Leeroy and became CTO, I haven't had the chance to see Victor's ability as an iOS developer. However, I did see a potential in his management skills and decided to offer him a role as an Engineer Manager. Gladly, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made!
Victor's skills for diplomacy, his keen understanding of technology and his willingness to understand the Big Picture, makes him one of the best people I had the pleasure to collaborate with. He was key to R&D and most decisions I've made, I made sure to consult with him.
Definitely a person I would look forward to work with in the future and anyone making a decision of having him in their team, cannot expect anything else but excellence and good sense of humour!

I have had the pleasure to work with Victor, where he was both a developer and team manager.
As a developer, he has a strong focus on quality and a great eye for details, both visual and functional. To take shortcuts is nothing Victor does, he wants to build systems that are great and holds the test of time. He is a great team player, problem solver and teacher, he is not afraid to try out new things and is a really quick learner.
As a team manager, he always put the team first and made sure that the team members knew what to do and removed the obstacles when they arrived. I was really glad to belong to Victors team, and learned a lot from him.
Victor is a really smart and funny guy, and easy to work with. We became good friends and I really hope that we can work together again in the future!

UX designer, inUse
I had the opportunity to work in the same team as Victor during my time at Leeroy. For me as a product designer, he was a huge help, mainly for his knowledge in iOS development but also as a sounding board in all kinds of problem solving. He also showed a great interest in the users and UX, which made the collaboration smooth!
Victor takes a huge amount of responsibility in everything he gets into. Meanwhile he takes his job very serious he spreads a lot of energy and joy. Although he is niche in iOS development, I would say that he possesses a great breadth of knowledge! It is clear that he is passionate about what he does and always wants to learn more.
I can only congratulate Victor's future employers and colleagues, he is a rock!

CTO & Co-founder, ChainTraced
Victor is a highly motivated and skilled Engineer.
From my years of knowing and working with Victor, I've had the pleasure to see him tackle a variety of different challenges. Always with a refreshing perspective, pragmatic ideas and determined mindset.
Whether it's architecting new solutions, implementing/refactoring code or managerial duties he always attaches himself to the task in an impressive manner. This fosters his qualities of taking ownership and wanting to understand the task from multiple angles to find a solution.
On top of the above he is a easily one of the best desk-pals you can have! We had so much fun working together :)
He will always be one of the top candidates whenever I'm considering positions for application development, product development and managerial duties especially. I really hope to be able to work with Victor again in the future.

I worked with Victor during my tenure at Leeroy where he played multiple roles. Initially, he was one of the developers in our team. Being a QA in the same team, I had frequent technical interactions with him.
He holds a thorough understanding of technical issues and comes up with creative ideas for troubleshooting. Victor is technically sound and knows all the details of products and applications from the customer's point of view. He has an excellent knack for convincingly explaining his point. Victor is a sincere and dedicated worker.
Being a team player, he listens to everyone and respects their opinions. All these qualities helped him to successfully play prominent roles like Scrum Master and Engineering Manager in the same organization. On a personal front, he is friendly, cheerful, and easygoing. He would be asset to any team.
Marina Gornostaeva
Mobile development lead & iOS developer (contractor)
I hired Victor to my iOS team back in 2017 and we worked together for 2 years. Already at the interview stage I was impressed with his way of thinking and the ability to figure things out. Even though Victor joined as a junior developer, he learned fast and was able to take on challenging projects. Victor's positive attitude and strong work ethic made him a valuable member of our team.
I would work with Victor again without doubt, and I'm certain that any company would be lucky to have him on their team.
