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.

What'll happen next?

It is of increasing import to have meaning in my work, and to support this goal, first the word 'meaning' needs to be unpacked. That job is not finished, although thus far I have these moral rules to guide me towards meaningful work:

• Create value
• Reduce waste

To me, no matter the context, these rules can guide my actions forward and ensure they stand up to ethical scrutiny.
