Short CV

I've been studying Computer Science at Linköping University between 2001 and 2006. My final thesis was written at Linköping University, IDA, HCS.

In 2007 - 2009 I was employed by Sogeti Sweden AB, working at SAAB Aerosystems AB in Linköping with implementation of real time applications in tiny hardware covered with massive sheets of aluminium.

Between 2009 - 2011 I worked as teacher (gästadjunkt) at IDA, mostly with undergraduate education. From 2011 I work with technical support and maintenance at TUS along with some teaching, mostly TDDD09 and TDDC88.

Interests

I enjoy creating applications which makes life easier in my spare time. The reality is although that I often spend more time on the applications than it would actually require to do the task manually. Favourite language is Python, but I also create stuff in C, Ruby, LISP, PHP et al.

I am rarely happier than when spending an entire day programming my computer to perform automatically a task that it would otherwise take me a good ten seconds to do by hand.
(Douglas Adams)

I also enjoy photographing and working with drama. I am a member of Holgerspexet since 2004, where I've been acting, directing, creating props and costumes, and filming.

A play there is, my lord, some ten words long,
Which is as brief as I have known a play;
But by ten words, my lord, it is too long,
Which makes it tedious: for in all the play
There is not one word apt, one player fitted:
And tragical, my noble lord, it is;
For Pyramus therein doth kill himself:
Which when I saw rehears'd, I must confess,
Made mine eyes water; but more merry tears
The passion of loud laughter never shed.
(William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream)
