Curriculum Vitae

Introduction

Dedicated web developer with an eye out for The Next Big Thing™ capable and eager to work on projects small and large where the vision is greater than the sum of its parts. An independent worker with a fluid mind ensures out-of-the-box thinking and a unique approach to problems and solutions.

But who am I?

Well, My Facebook profile is completely public, so is my Github profile, and sometimes I tweet stuff. I like weightlifting, programming, meditation, and motorcycles. I'm not a big fan of skiing, though it taught me valuable life lessons about priorities through injury. I like to write, which I do privately at my blog and I have been known to rant about topics that disturb me at Iterate's blog.

I run a company registered in Sweden called vardevs. I don't do much with it except host sites, buy domains, administer servers and the occasional development and operations for friends and family. It's an ongoing learning experiment about how a company works and has taught me about taxes, VAT, inter-country invoices, book keeping and publishing yearly reports.

All-in-all curious is a word I would not mind being applied to my personality. Currently I am exploring: Clojure, Go, and Elm.
