My story
Hi, I'm Niklas 👋 I grew up in a small town outside Gävle, and I've spent the last 8 years working as a freelance software engineer in Stockholm.
Over those years I've written more CVs than I can count — for myself and for the many roles I've moved between. Every one wanted something slightly different, and I learned the hard way that the part which actually gets you interviews is tailoring: lining your real experience up against what a specific job is asking for.
The problem: doing that well, again and again, is tedious. And every tool I tried wanted a monthly subscription, locked the useful parts behind a paywall, or buried me in account setup and admin. As a freelancer I just wanted something easy, great, and cheap — no subscriptions, no recurring fees, no fuss.
So I built the thing I wished existed.
What Matcha CV stands for
- ☕ Pay like a coffee, not a subscription. One tailored application costs about what a coffee does. No recurring fees, ever.
- Sounds like you, not AI. We sharpen and reframe what you actually wrote — we never invent experience or pile on buzzwords.
- Built for the Swedish market. Clear, specific, understated — English with a Swedish professional tone, or in Swedish.
- Less admin. Paste your CV and a job ad, tailor it, download it. Minutes, not hours. No dashboards to learn.
That's the whole idea: a small tool that does one thing really well, for the price of a coffee.
