    Miscellaneous
    Currently I am employed with Fujitsu as a consultant.

    Previous employment includes Atea and Calvia, mainly dealing with backup systems for i.e. Göteborgs Universitet and virtualization with Volvo IT. I have also worked with VGR as a server- and database administrator and developer.
    I am also involved with my own company, which I started in 2002, working together with i.e. McLead, Arkitema and Caravelle with various projects involving customers like Sun Microsystems, f.d. Zestica, Qondoc, Twilfit and McDonald's.

    Until January 2002 I was employed as a Systems Engineer at Digital Island, Inc., where I began in November 2000, working together with Sten Rönnbom, establishing the Scandinavian Sales Office. I was assigned to application and maintenance support for UBS Warburg who hosted their Solaris and Windows servers at Digital Island's globally distributed data centers around the world.

    Before this I worked as a systems engineer at Adera Business Solutions where I was responsible for the inter-/intranet facilities and servers at the office in Göteborg. Prior to this I was employed as a unix consultant with NCL for a year. Before that I worked with Information Highway and Frontec, also in Göteborg, for two years, mainly working with customers like Telia, Ericsson, Astra and Volvo.

    Tripnet AB is a company I started in the end of 1994, initially based on open source solutions, together with a former colleague from Saab Space. I sold off my part in the company when my partners exhibited abnormal social deficits in communication skills.

    Personal
    Civil status: Married to Maarit Bevenhall (plus one daughter, born 2004.12)
      I also have two children, born in 1991 and 1993, from a previous marriage.
    Nationality: Swedish
    Born: May 1960, Göteborg.

    In my spare time I like to travel with my wife and enjoy scuba diving in various (preferrably tropical) waters, although I tend to read a lot and also spend a ridiculous amount of time in pubs, bars, restaurants and clubs with my equally relaxed friends.
    As a side note, view my modest whisky collection here.
    Otherwise I like to spend available weekends with my family at our petite summer resort.
