Focus
AI platforms & product engineering

I'm a fullstack engineer and serial entrepreneur based in Stockholm. I've been building on the internet since the early days — shipping products, scaling platforms, and leading companies from zero to exit.

As the founder of Familjeliv.se, I grew one of Sweden's largest social platforms to millions of users before a successful exit. Today I operate at the intersection of hands-on engineering and executive leadership — whether that's as CTO scaling a SaaS product, advising startups as an angel investor, or architecting systems that handle serious load.
