My journey with Drupal started back in 2006 with Drupal 5. While still in school, I was working nights as a freelancer for small local companies, in the Swedish town where I lived. Through the local DrupalCamp scene, I came in contact with NodeOne, a young but prolific agency based in Stockholm that I joined later on.
Since my time at NodeOne, I moved on to work as a Developer Lead at Al Jazeera TV Network and most recently as an Engineering Manager in the Platform DevOps group at Pfizer.
I've got a passion for building great teams, with a focus on the underlying theory and practice of efficient software delivery. I believe that all companies and teams have a lot to learn from how open source projects, like Drupal, are developed.
