I am an experienced software developer that has worked professionally for 12 years. I am mostly self-educated, with computers and programming having been my main focus for as long as I can remember. I am an optimist and pride myself on finding solutions where others may only see problems. I am a fast learner, a team player and I love challenges and opportunities for personal and professional growth. Swedish is my native language but I speak and write English fluently.
Other interests include marial arts training and instruction, professional dj'ing, and fishing.
