I'm a Swede stuck in a Canadian's body. Barista. 5-pin Bowler. Trusted adviser to software development professionals. Mentor. Coach. Friend.

We usually start trying to solve a programming problem together, but before long, we're talking about people issues... and it's always a people issue.

I'm open to

and speaking on podcasts.
