About

Work

I have been working as an embedded software developer for close to a quarter of a century.
I am working at Volvo Trucks with the software platform within the vehicles and the development tools required for it. The automotive business is in a shift from hardware industry to a software (innovation) driven industry. That change is occurring concurrently with the shift to renewable energy and a lot of new regulations (cyber security and functional safety). Being part of that journey is inspiring and frustrating.

Starting from 1998 I was part of the mobile-internet revolution, as a developer in Mobitex system. Using Mobitex and a RIM device I had e-mail in my pocket in year 2000. It was revolutionary to have true 2 way communication in a pocketsize device, with a battery that lasted a month.

Internet Me

The statistics from the podcast player tells a reasonably accurate story of my (internet) interests. American politics is my reality show, series like House of Cards can’t match the real thing; the twists and turns of the legal fights are quite something to follow. Cyber security is always interesting.
