Professional Background

For ~20 years, I’ve worked in application development, covering the project lifecycle — from research and planning to implementation, delivery, and maintenance. I also co-founded and ran a design agency for ten years, offering services like strategy, design, and tech solutions. With my skills and experience, I help organizations from concept to execution and growth.

I've worked with organizations like Mynewsdesk, Unicef Sverige, Lärarförbundet, Svenska Dagbladet and Omni. In these roles, I have contributed hands-on tech expertise, leadership and managed organizational and engineering projects. For example, in one of my latest roles I was the AI & Data Engineering Manager at Mynewsdesk.

Expertise

My work involves technology, team leadership, and engineering management. I have extensive experience with Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, various databases, including PostgreSQL, LLMs, AI providers, and cloud services. Always focusing on user-centered and easy-to-use products. I’ve worked in fields such as large-scale data processing, AI pipelines, SaaS platforms, maintenance and custom software solutions. I like best practices like TDD, DevOps, CI and data-driven decision-making to deliver scalable, maintainable solutions.

I live in Stockholm, Sweden, with my wife, our daughter and twin boys.
