I'm an MSC graduate from Chalmers at the program Automation and Mechatronics which is an education in the borderland between machine-, electrical and computer engineering. My focus druing the master program was in Systems, Control and Mechatronics. My thesis was on Cpac Systems where I work with programming embedded software for marine applications. To my areas of work include system development, mechanical, circuit board design and wireless communication.
A great interest of mine has been computers and programming. In high school it was not hard to find classmates who shared this interest and soon I had two companions to start a business with. The company is today called Treplex and we are great at building web sites, web applications and advertising matter. In short, most things related to programming and design.
I now work for Volvo Penta Australia as a software engineer. My responsibilities include making sure software issues are resolved as quickly as possible. I also work with developing future functionality.

Cross platform mobile app for Volvo Penta Easy Connect interface
Volvo Penta has commited to implement better connectivity functionality. Part of this was the release of Easy Connect. An app which lets boat users connect to their vessel via Bluetooth. I developed the proof-of-concept and then continued as one of the developers in getting this product to market. I was responsible for the initial requirement specification, choice of development platform and the continuous implementation of new features and bugfixes. We decided to develop the app in Xamarin to get cross platform (iOS and Android) with a shared code base. Looking back it was the right decision.
