Open-source and writing

Open-source is one of the most important fundamentals to a free and open world. Most of the code I write outside my job is on GitHub. I also develop and maintain several WordPress plugins.

I write about technical topics here on this blog. I also curate a site filled with hundreds of general-purpose code snippets.

Events

When people meet, amazing things happen. I organize meetups, events and hackathons. I am currently a co-organizer of Schibsted Hack Day, Svelte Society Stockholm and the WordPress Stockholm Meetup Group.

I have been the lead organizer for WordCamp Stockholm multiple times and have been a teacher in web development at Berghs School of Communication.
