"I build successful products by fostering effective teams and keeping it simple!"
For the past 8+ years, I have been developing my skillset in the world of IT and software, I drive successful products and workflows and apply business strategies to product development by always learning and adapting to the ever-evolving landscape.
I’m called upon to deliver product roadmaps and strategies that quickly and effectively bring your product to market.
I’m an avid learner and self-starter with a passion for building products, crafting engaging visions, and making the development team an integral part of the product lifecycle is key to an effective team, and the key to a successful product is an effective team.
I’m originally from a small village in Sweden but I have for the past 9 years lived in Tallinn, Estonia. I’m a big fan of sports, both engaging in sports and viewing sports such as Football, Cycling, Ice Hockey, and Disc Golf.
I focus a lot on Personal development and learning and have dubbed 2024 my year of learning where I will spend a minimum of 180 minutes of learning per week. At the moment of writing this, I’m sitting on a 113-day learning streak, where my main focus has been on learning Python.
