## About

I’m a 21-year-old IT professional, creator, and active member of civil society based in Gothenburg, Sweden. I’m pragmatic, resourceful, and analytical, with a strong focus on practical problem-solving. My Myers–Briggs personality type is ISTP.

I’m currently seeking a full-time role in IT, cybersecurity, software development, or a related field.

My professional background is in IT and cybersecurity, supported by an upper secondary qualification in Computer and Communication Technology from NTI Gymnasiet Johanneberg and a Higher Vocational Education diploma in IT Security Development from EC Utbildning.

I have a broad technical skill set across IT, with a particular specialization in cybersecurity. My areas of expertise include networking and infrastructure, operating systems, hardware and software, programming and software development, industry best practices, and system hardening. Beyond my professional experience, I have independently pursued programming and application development projects and gained experience leading digital development teams.

I have a particular interest in European digital sovereignty, backed by hands-on experience with open-source technologies, self-hosted infrastructure, federated platforms such as Matrix, virtual private servers (VPS), and web hosting. I’m a strong advocate for an open internet, making informed technology and consumer choices, and free and open-source (FOSS) principles.

Outside my professional life, I’m actively involved in Volt, the pan-European political party. I serve on its national board and lead both the Gothenburg local chapter and the Västra Götaland regional organization.

Previously, I served five consecutive terms on the Gothenburg City Youth Council between 2019 and 2023. During my time on the council, I advocated for responsible financial management and well-informed, carefully considered decisions.

I also manage my own investment portfolio, focusing on dividend income, profitable businesses, and strong cash flows. I regularly attend annual general meetings, including those of companies such as Fractal, SKF, and Castellum.
