Hi, I'm
Emil Rimer
Building things at the intersection of software, games, and learning technology. Holding a MSc in Engineering from the University of Southern Denmark, and currently working at Logos Payment Solutions.
01.About Me
I'm Emil Rimer, a Software Engineer based in Denmark. I work as a Backend Engineer at Logos Payment Solutions and completed my MSc in Game Development and Learning Technology at the University of Southern Denmark in 2025.
My passion lies in building software that matters, whether that's immersive games, tools that help people learn, or just a fun application that brings joy. I love working across the stack, from backend system in C# to modern frontend frameworks like React.
When I'm not coding, I'm at the piano, lifting weights, or deep in a video game. I believe the best engineers are curious about everything!
