About
From a young age, machinery and how things worked always intrigued me. It began with taking apart toys, quickly progressed to building intricate Lego models, and then, by my teens, I was engrossed in understanding and designing simple mechanical solutions. It was no surprise to anyone that my academic path led me straight to the gates of KTH Royal Institute of Technology. But my educational journey was more than just amassing theoretical knowledge; it was a comprehensive blend of hands-on learning and diving into complex projects that shaped the engineer I am today.
After completing my bachelor's, I felt a pull towards a more specialized field. The world of advanced product design beckoned, and that led me to Chalmers University of Technology. Here, I dabbled with the integration of technology into traditional mechanical systems, a move that would later heavily influence my professional career.
Professional Odyssey
My time at Saab was the true beginning of my professional foray into mechanical engineering. The aviation sector presented challenges that demanded both precision and innovation. Whether it was working on landing gears or collaborating on a project that aimed at retrofitting older aircraft models, each day was a lesson.
But as with all journeys, it was time to explore new horizons. Atlas Copco and Scania allowed me to work on groundbreaking projects, shaping the future of machinery and transport. Today, at ABB, I have the privilege of leading the robotics division, a testament to my belief in the amalgamation of traditional mechanics and cutting-edge technology.
Beyond the Workshop
Engineering may be my profession, but the outdoors is my passion. The pristine trails of northern Sweden provide the perfect backdrop for reflection and rejuvenation. When I'm not working on a project or hiking, my home workshop becomes my sanctuary. Over the years, I've built everything from automated home garden systems to e-bike conversion kits. These personal projects, though not directly related to my professional field, have shaped my problem-solving mindset.
On a more personal note, I find solace in playing the guitar, skiing during the biting Swedish winters, and indulging in books about sustainable technologies. Life, for me, has always been about balancing the rigidity of mechanics with the fluidity of nature and creativity.
