Having experience and knowledge in multiple business- and technology domains, I can support your team from small groups of 7-10 members up to department size +100 staff.

SOFTWARE

FOSS and commercial software

Since I started coding as a teenager on the Uppsala University’s Norsk Data and DEC VAX mini computers in Pascal and assembly in the evenings, I have had the chance to write a lot of code. In the 1980's it was mainly with cross-assemblers and C for 8- and 16-bit CPU's and micro-controllers (Z80, 8051 derivatives, x386, 68k, TMS320).

A majority of the 1990's was a lot of firmware development, but also desktop client development with products for clients written in MS-C, Watcom C/C++, Turbo Pascal and Borland Delphi.

The first Java project was back in 1998, a database publishing system for a large German discounter. Until today I am often working with Java, last years mainly using Spring.

I am currently restructuring various code bases and libraries, both stuff that I have written myself and that of others where I have the IP making them available as open source on github. Contact me if you are interested.

HIGHLIGHTS

I am a member of:

Started to code

As a teenager started coding Basic on a Luxor ABC-80. Some years thereafter, I was sitting late evenings at the Uppsala University coding Pascal on a Norsk Data mainframe. Made my first proper product at the age of sixteen, a 4-channel intrusion alarm control system called “Teleprotect” using a Zilog Z80 CPU developing the firmware with cross-assembler on a DEC VAX. The product was sold to households and SMEs in Sweden.

VP Engineering

living systems AG  – Donaueschingen, Germany (later Whitestein Technologies AG)

Trading platforms, e-commerce, auction platforms. Heading +100 team members – Germany, Romania

Living Systems built their own “software agent runtime environment”, a middleware called “LARS”. The technology later ended up with Whitestein. In 1998 it built various online communities using it. I came on board when the company had less than 15 employees and it grew to over 370 in the following four years. It missed the IPO after several rounds and I left the company after I’d scaled down the engineering department.
