ABOUT ME

A picture of me. A picture of me.

I was born in the university town of Lund, Sweden in 1973. After spending my first few years in Sweden I moved with my parents to Australia where I stayed for 17 years before returning to Sweden in the summer of 1997.

After many years of business, study, work, travel and consulting, I have finally settled down on the outskirts of Malmö in my family's old farmhouse. This is where I live now with my wife and two children.

In my free time I renovate the farmhouse, develop various digital electronic systems and participate actively in the local branch of the Swedish Voluntary Radio Organisation (FRO).

EDUCATION

Lund and Malmo University logotypes.

My first Masters degree in "Computer Science and Engineering" from Lund University was completed in 2004 which led to many years working with advanced technology around the world.

12 years later I completed my second degree, this time in "Upper Secondary Education" at Malmö University. This enabled me to become a fully accredited teacher of Mathematics, Technology and Computer Programming at the upper high school level.

WORK

Futuristic vehicle.

Technology, product development and problem solving are my true passion.

Therefore, I have recently transitioned back from my teaching role and am once again working with advanced embedded systems.

I am now working for Elonroad and contributing to the development of their impressive array of vehicle charging systems.

INTERESTS

GU-F.

An avid fan of science fiction literature, I am naturally interested in all efforts that help bring new and revolutionary technologies to life. Therefore, I enthusiastically follow new developments in space exploration, nuclear fusion and alternative energy systems.

Recently, the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 prompted me to apply to the Swedish Home Guard (Hemvärnet). In turn, this led me to join the FRO where I, among other things, now develop new firmware for older radio hardware.
