This is what I do

  • #software engineering / #internet / #mobile.
    I build web and mobile applications, from concept to execution. I have experience from leading development teams and >12 years as a developer (Java/PHP/C++). Read my blog about software development.
  • #entrepreneur / #startups.
    I have founded a few companies and I have a strong passion for innovation and entrepreneurship (key drivers to make the world a billion times better). I help startups under the name Startup Garage.
  • #futurism / #transhumanism / #disruption.
    I have blogged about the future  and how disruptive technology changes society and our lives since 2001. One day I will summarize it all in a book. Until then, see my blogs below.

My Career

Born in 1976, I started my first company in 1998 and have been working with the web, mobile and various startups since then. I have been a java architect for a content management company, a technical project leader for a mobile portal, a strategist for java in mobile phones, a CEO of a startup and a community manager amongst other things.

I currently live in Malmö, Sweden, and work with innovation and communication in different flavors. Feel free to contact me to find out more. I am always interested in projects related to web or mobile and disruptive innovation.

I have a Masters degree in Software Engineering from BTH.

My complete resume can be found at LinkedIn.
