About

Professional problem solver with two decades of broad experience across multiple fields of IT. Coming from a background as a software engineer, in recent years I’ve worked in roles with a heavy emphasis on technical leadership, partner management, developer experience, and driving large collaborative efforts across the organisation. I greatly enjoy working across functions to solve complex problems together with a highly motivated team, and I do my best work when I’m trusted with a lot of agency in finding and solving the challenges that a project or product is facing. I excel at communicating technical matters in a way that is succinct, clear, and accessible, also to a non-technical audience. Except if explicitly stated otherwise, my posts on social media like LinkedIn are solely my personal opinions and do not represent my employer.

Staff Engineer

Dec 2022Sep 2025 · 2 yrs 9 mos · Stockholm, Stockholm County, Sweden · On-site

  • I served primarily as a technical leader, working with multiple teams across the organization to architect and support the implementation of major technical initiatives that impacted the whole company. I strongly believe that the more experienced an engineer, the more one should be ready to pitch in wherever needed, so my work involved a diverse range of responsibilities: from authoring technical strategy, to supporting teams with test hardware, to writing and reviewing code and documentation.
  • Having a background as a mobile and in-car application developer, I also worked with Android Automotive and improving our in-car software ecosystem. Strong partnerships and integrations with 3rd party services were key to Volvo's success and I also spent some of my time contributing to partner- and public-facing APIs.
