Work Experience
IT contractor
I started my own company while in upper secondary school and have since then offered services in web development, design, and network administration at different times. Most of these services have been rendered pro bono.
Software engineer
At XTS Data we created bespoke CRM solutions for companies in the telecom sector. My role included managing databases, developing of backend services, web frontends, mobile apps and the primary CRM client. In 2019 I was re-hired to help with adapting the CRM for a telecom company expanding to the Swedish market. I integrated payment systems, messaging systems, and OAuth2 authentication.
Training director, project coordinator
YFNZ is a non-profit training organisation. At first, I was in charge of the media department. I built the website, later made it GDPR compliant, and built custom solutions for the finance team to process donations, as well as solutions for podcasting. Then, my primary role was as in a team overseeing all the schools and their content, as well as equipping the staff to lead, work, and communicate in cross-cultural contexts. At the end of my tenure I had played an important part in developing and improving the training and the organsiation's daily operations.
Here I'm only showing what's relevant for my current field of work. Contact me for full work history.
Education
Master's in Theology
Since a couple of years back I've had a keen interest in understanding different cultures, and especially the minds of ancient people groups. Therefore, I've pursued classical studies with a focus on interpreting ancient literature and learning about the religions and practices of the Ancient Near East.
Bachelor's in Theology
I completed the degree with honors, received the LarsOlov Eriksson's award for my bachelor's thesis as well as one for my achievements in classical languages. Not only that, I also managed to complete the degree in just 1.5 years.
Science and technology
It was during upper secondary school my interest in media, design, and programming, was sparked. I also started my own company and began doing contracting work in IT. I graduated with honors and received an award for being the best performing student in my program.
In addition to these I have about 2 years of unaccredited studies in various areas, among them leadership and team building.

Notable Projects
Momentous™
Momentous™ is a 3D movement-based puzzler—a parkour game—with user created levels and various game modes. It has advanced traversal and environment analysis of the physical geometry. I've started developing it during my studies as I wanted to stay on top of my primary profession and learn new skills. The game is still in pre-production and its development can be followed at my Twitter account.
Papyrus CMS
I'm skilled at designing and developing custom tooling to solve specific problems. Papyrus (and the framework it's built on, SOMA) is such a tool. It is a flat-file markdown CMS built in PHP. It supports pre-compilation and performance optimizations to provide a fast website that is easy to administrate. It's meant to provide simple publishing for the user without requiring knowledge of static website compilers, and avoiding their limitations.
Telecom systems integration
In 2019 I was hired by XTS Data AB to help integrate the CRM with their client's new service providers as they expanded into the Swedish market. I worked against several external APIs, such as payment services, authentication, messaging, phone number migrations between providers, and more.
Tailormade solution
I served pro bono for a non-profit between 2015 and 2019 and managed everything from the servers, cloud, email, media, advertising, to website and custom tools for their finance department. Some of the features developed for their online systems was full GDPR compliance, encryption, social media API integrations, podcasting, custom payment system, responsive design, custom drag-and-drop templating system, caching and on-demand loading of resources, and more. The site has since been migrated to another externally managed platform to consolidate a range of external services.
