<h2>This is what I do</h2>
<ul>
<li><em>#software engineering / #internet / #mobile</em>.<br />
I build  web and mobile applications, from concept to execution. I have experience from leading development teams and &gt;12 years as a developer (Java/PHP/C++). Read my blog about <a href="http://softwaresweden.com">software development</a>.</li>
<li><em>#entrepreneur / #startups.<br />
</em>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 <a href="http://www.startupgarage.se">Startup Garage</a>. </li>
<li><em>#futurism / #transhumanism / #disruption</em>.<br />
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.</li>
</ul>
<h2>My Career</h2>
<p>Born in 1976, I started my first company in 1998 and have been working with <em>the web</em>, mobile and various startups since then. I have been a java <strong>architect</strong> for a content management company, a technical <strong>project leader</strong> for a mobile portal, a <strong>strategist</strong> for java in mobile phones, a <strong>CEO</strong> of a startup and a <strong>community manager</strong> amongst other things.</p>
<p>I currently live in Malmö, Sweden, and work with <strong>innovation and communication</strong> in different flavors. Feel free to <a href="mailto:erik@erikstarck.com">contact me</a> to find out more. I am always interested in projects related to web or mobile and disruptive innovation.</p>
