With 15+ years bridging indie game development, big tech, and enterprise systems, I transform complex technical challenges into elegant solutions. My journey spans from optimizing Candy Crush Saga’s branched progression at King, to architecting cloud platforms, to founding my own game studio, AmberWing.
What I bring to the table:
- Presentation: I love giving talks and educating people on various concepts and programming best practices
- DevOps & Cloud: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines for seamless deployment
- Game Development: Unity, Unreal Engine, PC, Mobile and console development (Nintendo Switch, Xbox), VR experiences
- Full-Stack Expertise: React, Node.js, Spring Boot, MongoDB - building scalable web applications from ground up
- Technical Leadership: Mentoring teams, coordinating cross-functional groups, managing up to 25 developers and 50+ people
- Low-Level to High-Level: From GPU shader programming to system architecture and project management
I’m the bridge between technical depth and vision, equally comfortable debugging code as I am presenting technical concepts to stakeholders. Known for clear communication (and the occasional dad joke), I excel at bringing out the best in teams while delivering production-quality code.
I have a Master’s in Computer graphics and media technology from Linköping University
