About Me
I'm Lyla Skovgaard—a full-stack developer, AI builder, and advocate for technology that actually helps people. I believe the best software disappears into usefulness.
What I Believe
Human-Centered
Technology should serve people, not the other way around. I build tools that feel natural and enhance human capability.
Bespoke Solutions
Off-the-shelf rarely fits. I build exactly what's needed—no bloat, no forcing you into a box someone else designed.
Real Problems
Every project solves a genuine need. I don't build tech demos—I build working solutions for real users.
Quality Craft
Clean code, thoughtful architecture, attention to detail. The work should be as beautiful under the hood as on the surface.
