Technology and design should help solve hard problems in society and industry, as well as give people more room for the moments they love.

Currently I am Technical Standards Lead at Polestar, where I'm also responsible for leading the Software Engineers Competence Group and being the Developer Advocate in our Open Source Program Office.

Prior to this, I have been Lead Cloud Architect at Humblebee, a Lead Frontend Developer at Sogeti, and in 2015 I co-founded Being with Nika Helia Persson.

I've also given talks, presentations, and lectures at (among other places) University of California, CloudNativeGbg, React Gothenburg Meetup, AWS User Group Göteborg, Världskulturmuseet, and Varbergs Konsthall.

Though working in and around tech, my education is based in the humanities (BFA) and Fine Arts (MFA). I also have multiple years of experience in teaching development, design, and art for several years at university, work, and even on high school level.
