Calm and collected, with a problem-solving habit and a bias for finding the opportunity in something messy. Growth is the part of the job I care about: owning hard problems, learning new domains, making things measurably better.

Honest flaw: I deep-dive. I'll spend the extra hour chasing the root cause when a quick patch would do. Working on calling the trade-off out loud sooner.

Off the clock, wife and two kids. Most evenings end up on the floor with them.

After bedtime, side projects. Small game builds, mostly to keep a hand in code outside of work and to scratch the design itch tickets don't reach. Same impulse pulls me into LLMs, the homelab, and whatever tool I haven't pulled apart yet. Every new system is just another thing to figure out from the inside.

Currently IT Technician at Sweden's national innovation hub for advanced biologics.

Keeping the systems behind cell & gene therapy reliable, validated, and a little smarter every quarter. Infrastructure, security, automation, and the occasional controlled chaos.

After-hours and weekend builds — small projects to keep a hand in code and scratch the design itch. Each one links out so you can play it or read more.

Working Principle

“Good technology helps. Good habits scale better.”

The best IT work is rarely visible. It saves time, removes friction, and keeps everything moving. I like fixing the cause, not the symptom.
