extraordinary results require extraordinary efforts

about me…

I create! Mostly fun stuff where I have a chance for personal and technical enlightenment. I like logic and beautiful code. I believe that information wants to be free, free as in freedom. I always strive to do my best and take responsibility for every project, small and large.

what i like?

I enjoy doing graphic design for web and print and I am always involved in various coding projects, both my own and in collaboration with others.

But most of all I love to be out in nature, fishing or just relaxing in the hammock, summer time is usually spent in my summer cottage, far away from asphalt and LED lights, I have electricity out there but I use it mostly to charge my phone and laptop.

when i like to do it.

The most effective time of my day is between 4-8 in the morning, I love being in the office but let’s face it, office time is mostly about collaboration between employees and customers.

what i do :

I am a full stack system developer, graphic designer and network security enthusiast. I develop web apps and maintain daily ISP chores such as updates, backups and support.

I am also a board member and employe of the digital printing company Västeråskopia AB, a highly advanced printing business with a complex API for calculation of cost and prices. it acts as a powerful plugin to the WordPress/WooCommerce e-platform and it has a dynamic web2print portal for custom products like business cards.

why i do it!

My goal has always been to create great things, in 2010 i started the company ASBRA AB (Awesome inc) with my brother and stepfather. The whole business idea is to only take on projects with great potential and lots of fun, since then we have grown to be a trusted partner for many companies who share our philosophy.

I first came across Linux in 1995 and ever since I have been exploring the many amazing things that can be accomplished with a little imagination and perseverance.
