    I wrote my first BASIC program in 1981 and have worked as a programmer since 1996. I have a long experience writing full-stack software and have written production code in more than ten programming languages.

    I have built and designed applications and API’s on various versions of Open Source software stacks based on Linux and databases like PostgreSQL. Since the end of the ’00s, I have used cloud providers such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Digital Ocean to deliver these solutions.

    I was an early adopter of what was later to be called agile methodologies and was a founder of Agila Sverige, Sweden’s first conference on this topic. As agile grew mainstream and the word lost meaning, I stepped away from agile as an industry. I still work using test-driven development, continuous delivery, and deployment, with an adherence to a well-functioning workplace.
