The work chose me as much as I chose it

I'm a technology architect who spent two decades building systems for Fortune 500 companies — and discovered that the most meaningful work happened in crisis zones, refugee corridors, and underserved communities.

Somewhere along the way, in a field hospital in Central Africa or a refugee transit point in the Balkans, I realized something: the same architectural thinking that powers enterprise platforms can transform how humanitarian organizations operate. The difference isn't in the technology. It's in what you choose to build it for.

Our planet faces challenges that won't be solved by people optimizing for quarterly returns. Climate change, displacement, health inequity, access to information — these are the problems that demand our best thinking and deepest commitment.

The mission comes first. The compensation comes second. I want to work with organizations that are making the world better — and could use someone with deep technical experience, proven humanitarian field credentials, and a genuine commitment to impact.

I write this from Gotland, an island in the Baltic Sea. Remote work isn't a trend for me — it's how I've delivered results across continents, time zones, and cultures for years.

Enterprise thinking, humanitarian purpose

Humanitarian Technology Architecture

Designing technology systems that work where it matters most — in resource-limited settings, conflict zones, and rapidly changing environments. Offline-first, low-bandwidth, field-resilient.

Proven at: MSF International across 72 countries

Health Information Systems

Building the data infrastructure that enables better health outcomes — from epidemiological surveillance to patient data management, from disease tracking to outbreak response coordination.

Proven at: MSF PAP Project (Central African Republic), WHO collaboration

Crisis Response & Coordination

Rapid-deployment technology solutions for emergency situations. Cross-organizational data sharing, real-time coordination, mobile-first field tools. Systems operational within 48 hours.

Proven at: European Refugee Crisis with UNHCR, UNICEF, IOM

Environmental & Climate Technology

IoT sensor networks, edge computing, and data pipelines — the same architecture that monitors disease outbreaks can monitor ecosystems, air quality, and climate patterns. Sustainable by design.

Proven at: Lummelunda Technology (founded), Volvo Connected Vehicle Platform

Enterprise Architecture for Impact

Bringing Fortune 500-grade architectural thinking to organizations that need robust, scalable systems but operate under very different constraints. The enterprise playbook, adapted for purpose.

Proven at: Volvo, IKEA, Securitas — adapted for MSF, UNESCO

Capacity Building & Knowledge Transfer

Technology solutions are only sustainable if the people using them can maintain and evolve them. Every engagement is designed to leave the organization stronger and more capable.

Proven at: UNESCO Sri Lanka & India, MSF Field ICT Program

How I work

01

Listen First

Every context is different. Understanding the operational reality — whether a field hospital or a boardroom — comes before any technical recommendation.

02

Design for Resilience

Systems must work when infrastructure fails. Offline-first, low-bandwidth, field-tested. This thinking improves every system, everywhere.

03

Transfer Knowledge

The goal isn't dependency — it's capability. Every engagement is designed so the organization stands stronger afterward.

04

Stay Humble

Twenty years of experience means knowing what you don't know. The best solutions emerge from genuine collaboration with the people closest to the problems.

What colleagues and clients say
