Independent IT Professional
I’m a senior developer and have been working for many years at both large and small companies. My assignments include roles as developer, architect and technical project leader, always with programming as part of my daily work.
My main interests are how to use the technology in the best way to fulfil the customer’s requirements, how to inspire the team to co-operate and work together, and how to implement clean code and good architecture.
I believe that teamwork is the key to success!
Choose the honest way forward. To do what is true to you will be appreciated among both customers and colleagues. Stand up for your values. But of course be aware that there might be different angles than yours.
Both in the team and with the customer. We all have different personalities and skills. In the best functioning teams we complement each other and take advantage of our differences. That’s when cooperation gets really powerful.
It might not be easy. You might not be able to solve everything by yourself. But you own the task, and until it is solved or you have to give up, you should do everything you can to find a solution.
I’m filled with Christmas cheer. Because yesterday, we brought in the Christmas tree, and had a peaceful time with the family wrapping the Christmas gifts. While still in this mood, I want to tell you about my mum’s Christmas on a small farm name Månstuga in the deep forests of Värmland, in Sweden.
The Intelligence & Efficiency Team was formed two years ago. It is a digital, remote team that is spread out over several cities in two countries. When I joined them, their software was new and just about to go live. We rolled it out at the same time as we added a lot of new features. And, we did it under extreme time pressure.
When developers take shotcuts or decrease the quality to gain time, they will cause a technical debt. By doing nothing and letting the system age, the technical debt is growing too.
