Started to code
Started coding Basic on a Luxor ABC-80 as a teenager. Some years later, 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 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.
