Achievements

Graduation Analyzer. Developed software for analyzing student grades and graduation constraints at KTH. It aggregated information from several data sources, analyzed it and produced Excel reports. The software cut down time consuming administrative tasks by orders of magnitude. It was later adopted by other institutions and is still used on a daily basis.

Multri.Net, a multiplayer Tetris game featuring team play, several play modes, online replays, an integrated tournament system, multiple high score lists and an Elo rating system. The server solves many challenging problems such as cheat prevention and client synchronization with minimal latency. (Java, 28 kloc)

Contributions at StackOverflow.com. Contributed with over 3.000 answers in the Java, C++, Android, Regex, algorithms and multithreading tags since 2010. With a current rating of 242k, I belong to the top 100 (top 0.01%) users.

StackRating.com, a Elo based rating system for Stack Overflow users. Features include live monitoring of new posts through the StackExchange REST API and an a custom in-memory data model for fast page generation.

Best student in the course Problem Solving and Programming under Pressure.

Technical skills

Used various Linux distributions almost exclusively for the past 20 years. Both privately and professionally, and both online and air gapped. Know all the ins and outs of the Java language and the core API. Also proficient with JavaScript, TypeScript, shell scripting, C/C++, Scala, Python, Prolog, Matlab, PHP, CSS and SQL, Gradle, npm/yarn and Maven. I use Docker for all my private projects.

Above all, always eager to pick up a book and learn something new.

Interests

Spending time with my wife and children, organizing and going to programming meetups, programming puzzles and participating in programming contests, both as a competitor and problem author. Was head coach for my daughters soccer team and assistant coach in a local Judo club. Practice juggling, long distance running and swimming.
