About Christopher

Welcome to my small corner of the internet!

My name is Christopher and I work as a software engineer with a deep focus on full-stack. Meaning that I can pick up any tool and build just about anything I set my mind to. I’m great at project planning, identifying user needs and shipping to customers. I fall naturally into a technical leadership role and thrive among others who love to build.

I’ve worked from East to West Coast, from Sweden to Silicon Valley in tech. Titles have varied.. programmer, software developer, software engineer, senior software engineer, team lead, etc but the important thing is to be right in the middle of the action and to enable others to also do the best work of their careers.

You can find me either in the Bay Area or in southern Sweden or somewhere in-between on any given day of the week.

From early 2022 to late 2025, just shy of 4 years, I worked for Mighty Networks - which can be conceptualized as a combination of substack, youtube, facebook and coursera - all in one package for content creators to own their own micro-communities and own their destinies on the web. Think your typical full-stack SAAS with everything that entails from an engineering and product perspective.

I was a key engineer on the team responsible for anything clickable or visible to customers. Courses, Chat, Chat threads, Gamification, Hashtags, Linking, Search, Comments, Multi-image upload, Security, Content-formatting, Conversations, Notifications and more (Typescript, React, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, SQL, ElasticSearch). I’ve authored a ton of system design proposals in the company. I revamped Mighty’s content security handling strategy as well, and when we had security audits and pentests, they came back approved. Having a secure system is important. It also lets everyone sleep well at night. Mighty has been home to some incredible talent, and I have lasting professional connections from there that I will charish.

In the five years prior to that:

• I worked at an IP telecom company called Telavox, where among regular fullstack development work (Java, Typescript, React, SQL), my departing contribution was to author an npm typescript package that helped automate a lot of the boilerplate needed to integrate their front-end telecom system into other platforms. This reduced time to integrate from 6+ months to weeks. I’m sure they’ve moved on to other ways of working since then, but it was extremely valuable at the time. During my tail-end time at Telavox, covid hit the world (ugh) and I completed a masters in computer science during evenings and weekends after work to help fill the time when the world slowed down. The people at Telavox were amazing individuals and I was promoted to team lead the final weeks I was there, but ended up moving to the West Coast instead to help Mighty expand their platform. I’ll always fondly remember the first day at Telavox when I walked in and realized that the company employed multiple people I already knew from parties in other parts of Sweden during bachelor studies. Small world.
• At an automotive code-templating and software IDE generation company called ArcCore, where I was the team lead over the entire software tooling department (5 engineers, Java, Scala, Python, Docker, Eclipse IDE-customization), did customer demos live in front of stakeholders for Volvo, Nissan, etc. and helped build the first automated code-generator for their adaptive autosar platform. The company has since been aquired by their main competitor called Vector. I wrote my bachelor thesis for ArcCore as well and was focused on model-based development there for a bit.
• As a part-timer at an Agritech infared early-disease detection company reducing antibiotic usage in farms at AgriCam (C# if I remember correctly). This was on the side of my bachelors in computer science studies - a few times in the evenings during the week.

I have a passion for solving problems with large (positive!) societal and organizational impact. Software is very similar in a way to arms manufacturing these days, I spend a lot of time thinking about ethics and find it important to think through how my work impacts others lives before I press commit.

My strengths lie in the intersection of product development, software engineering, technical sales communication and technical org management - all while putting an approachable human face to deeply technical and organizational decisions.

People really like working with me and I really like working with people. I think that’s my number one strength. That combined with an infinite curiosity means I think we can build just about anything feasible together. I might not know all the details on how just yet, but give me some time and we’ll quickly learn and get there.

If looking really far back in history (doesn’t feel like it! but I’ve since learned that having 19** on your drivers license makes you certifiably old to the kidz lol) I also volunteered with Engineers without Borders in a Ghana water project during my bachelors. I have a long history of FFA involvement in my old high school, speaking competitions and running an IT consultancy called Doane’s Design during pre-university years. That’s where it all started, I got paid to build websites and do tech projects as a teenager and when people came back and were so happy with my work it started my lifelong addiction to creating with tech. I used to go into some local businesses and sell them that I could build them their next website, and used the up-front down-payment to buy the computer and software that I used to build it with. That quick feedback-reward loop was and is amazing. It’s addicting. I also love cooking for the same reason, trying out a new recipe, feeding my friends, smiles in return.

I love creating. It feels like a superpower when you start to really grok computers. I like making them work for us, and not the other way around.

It’s fun to sometimes play around with self-hosting as well, but if I’m honest I often end up unplugging the server or shutting down the VPS when life gets busy since I end up priorizing other things other than doing sysadmin after work. Screen-fatigue is real and evening breaks and prioritizing my social life helps make me be extra productive the next day. This blog is statically hosted, so the admin work is near-zero thankfully.

I’m otherwise passionate about causes that touch environmental protection and minimizing human exploitation. ❤️

If you have a project targeting sustainability or positive human development, don’t hesitate to contact if you are looking for a co-founder.

Anything written here is my own opinion and does not reflect the opinions of my employer(s). My identity, opinions and experience changes slightly from year to year as I learn more, so some of this is probably already out of date. To be honest, I’m horrible at prioritizing this website- but hey, life is busy and sometimes dancing with friends or walking the beach is way more fun than updating a blog! :D

Have a great day!
