Ericsson Microwave Systems AB
Gothenburg, Sweden 1999 |
Thesis work
"Position dependent services using Bluetooth and WAP". A demonstration system made to sell the idea of using the (at that time) coming Bluetooth technology as a means of deliviering position dependant services. The system consisted of two computers. One with the main application (written in Visual C++) including the Bluetooth interface and running Windows NT. This computer acted as a client, a cellular phone (it was placed on a serving trolley, so it was actually mobile!). Another computer acted as a Bluetooth "hotspot". It ran an Apache server using servlets written with Borland's JBuilder. A GSM module was attached to this computer as well. It was used to send SMS messages (yeah, a bit inconsistent). |

Military service
Platoon commander in the coastal jaeger troups at the Nyland Brigade. |
| Switzerland |
Work
Working hard sounding Swiss with my Schwiizerdüütsch but so far I can only almost fool the German speaking part of the population... |
| Ireland |
Work
Got a nice accent on my English after way too few pints of Guiness in the Irish bars. Worked as a test engineer for TE Services (see the Work experince section above). The surf is quite good on the west coast! |
| Germany |
Studies
Forth year of my M.Sc.EE studies at TUHH in Hamburg. The education was in both English and German. Also spoke a lot of Finnish and Swedish with other foreign students from all around the world. (See the Education section for more details.) Work Sanitation engineer at Meyerwerft in Papenburg (as a consultant from Pelmatic, see the Work experince section above). This is where I learned to use the German theory I had successfully gained in school. |
|
Finland
|
Military service
I chose to do my military service in Finland, as a Platoon commander in the coastal jaeger troups at the Nyland Brigade in Ekenäs. This was because I wanted to get to know the country and my relatives better, to learn the language better and also to do the service properly! No Swedish scouting... ;) |
| Italy |
Work
Did a classic winter in the Alps, in Livigno. Worked a ski-man, which was fun! A lot of customer contacts and free use of skis and snowboards. And good language practice. Also checked out Milan and the Garda lake while in the "neighbourhood". |
| Swedish |
Native
Born and raised in Sweden, so it's perfect. I'd say growing up in a bilingual home very much improved my general language skills. |
| English |
Fluent
Began studying English in the forth grade and then continued for 8 years up to the second year of upper secondary school. Took a course during the first year at Chalmers as well as a course in business English at TUHH (see the Education section above). English has always been the main language in all job and study related documentation. I also have a sister living in Ireland, so the language comes to good use. |
| German |
Very good
Began studying German in the seventh grade and then continued for 5 years up to the second year of upper secondary school. Studied the language while at TUHH (see the Education section above). Spoke the language at a daily basis then of course, as well as when I worked in Papenburg (see the Work experience section above). Now I live in Graubünden which is mostly Schwiizerdütsch. |
| Finnish |
Mother's tongue
This is my mother's tongue. But since noone outside the family could understand me, I didn't use the language actively until my military service (see the Education section above). Did study the language all trough compulsory school though. |
| Italian |
Tourist level
Studied night-classes for a year, corresponding to two years at upper secondary school. Used the language while in the Italian Alps 2003. But I soon realised this is no language for me. Not even the Italians understand each other! |
| Spanish |
Basics
Beginners' course in the fall of 2006 and another term in 2007. It's a nice language and one day I will speak it! |
| French |
Basics
Got an 8-week course while working at Neoventa (see the Work experience section above). I really like the language! It feels like I learned more French during the 8 weeks than a year of Italian... |
| Fire fighter | I was part of the fire department of Domleschg, the Gemeinde of Feldis. The diploma for the basic course.. |
| Movie stardom |
Playing around as an extra I'm eating kebab in
Farsan.
My last "roles" were a cleaner and a doctor in Min så kallade pappa and I'm actually visible for seconds! ;) |
| Association board experiences | 1997: Chairman of Elektro Surf & Snowboard at Chalmers. |
| 2004-2005: Member of the board of CAS - Chalmers Alternative Sports - at Chalmers. | |
| 2001: Member of the board of TISH, an association that maintained a well-known skate park in a bomb shelter in a mountain by SKF in Gothenburg. | |
| Driver's license | B (normal car licence in Sweden) |
| Diver's licences |
CMAS *, PADI Advanced Open Water, PADI Dry Suit Speciality Diver
Best kind of vacation: On a diving boat. Just diving, eating, sun-bathing, sleeping, for days... |
| River kayaking/rafting | 2002: Took the course "Expert on a weekend, step 2", led by the well-known Nenad Martinis. Fun sport! Once I buy a car, I will buy a rafting kayak too! |
| Sauna! | Fifth place at the nationals in sauna bathing in Sweden in 2003 (Bastu-SM). My finnish blood is proud. I wouldn't do it again though. It's a totally stupid sport, it's all about who can take the most burning pain on the shoulders. 120 degrees of steem, slowly getter lower and lower. Noone did more than around 10 minutes! No pleasure, that's for sure. But fun, in retrospect. ;) |
| Running | I have never seen running as a competition sport. I run to get fresh air, smell the woods and move my arse. But I did win the Solifer Championships in 1992! Totally unknown, but the competition was hard! Then I ran the Göteborgsvarvet, half a marathon in 1994. The time wasn't too good (1.50), but at least it's done and I won't do it again. Not because it's too long, but because it's boring and 21 kilometers on asphalt is bad for your body. I can run around in the woods for 2 hours, no problem, with better speed too, because that is fun! |
