CurseForge User/Developer/Partner Discords
(Feb 2021 - Present Day) Community Champion, Discord Moderator, Consultant Joined up as a regular user at first, hanged out with the current server owners and community people, started mini-moderating to help the other moderators when they weren’t available, which ended up me becoming a moderator, and after some more time, I was promoted to ”Community Champion”, a user with higher permissions than a normal Discord Moderator, and I also attend meetings with the Community Team from CurseForge every week, to keep up to date about their side of things, and inform them about things happening in the gaming communities. Have also done some consulting work for them, making Discord bots, troubleshooting tools, written some articles on how to utilize their APIs in the most efficient way. |

Overwolf User Support Discord
(Oct 2020 - Present Day) Discord Moderator, Consultant Helped out a lot in the user support Discord for a while, until I was approached by one of the server owners that asked me if I wanted to be part of the moderation group in their Discord, and have been since, still helping users and combatting spam/rule breakers. |

Overwolf Developers Discord
(Mar 2022 - Present Day) Discord Moderator, Consultant, App Developer After being helpful for the bigger part of 2 years, with helping users with their coding issues, acted as a sounding board for users, offering constructive feedback and insights to drive product improvements, I became one of the Discord Moderators, helping out with keeping the server safe, nice and tidy, filtering out all spam and harmful bots, links among other things. I also create my own Overwolf apps found in their app store. |

Journal Limpet
(Mar 2022 - Present Day) Owner Journal Limpet is my service for users in the game Elite: Dangerous to store all their game journals (automatic from the game), and have third party integrations with other services that ingest these journals, to allow more services to find more data about the game, outside the game itself. I have over 1 500 users registered, with their journal data. This is a project I setup for myself to learn more about automation in several aspects. It has been running more or less flawlessly since December 2020, funded by myself, and some people on Patreon. |

MultiNet Interactive AB
(Feb 2006 - Oct 2026) CISO, Senior Fullstack Developer, IT-Infrastructure Manager, IT-DevOps, DBA Systems and server administration, full stack developer across several public facing SaaS and a lot of internal tooling. Started out as a developer for one of our SaaS that needed some TLC, ended up being the administrator of that service. Later advanced to maintaining an older PHP application which we later made a total rewrite of so that more developers could pitch in later. As the years went, I started getting more and more access to servers, databases and infrastructure, as I found it interesting and fun. This is how it started, as I gained more and more ”roles” internally, so basically started out as the new infrastructure intern, helping setting up new servers, rotating backup tapes, making sure that it is properly ventilated in our server room. Going on, we later started using a rented rackspace, where we migrated all our internal servers to, with as low downtime for all services as possible. And now I mainly make sure that we’re following all policies and procedures we’ve setup for ourself, making sure that all servers are running as they should, and plan for redundancy in all possible ways to keep our server stack healthy and easy to maintain. |

Nackademin
(2005 - 2006) Linux System Administrator Did a short term education at Nackademin, where I studied Linux System Administration, we learned about network switches, Linux in general, and how to setup PHP for a small project. The reason the education was short, was because during my first work period in school, the company I had worked for, asked me to stay with them, instead of going back to school, which is also my previous work place (MultiNet Interactive AB) |
