I build Grafana datasource plugins by day and slightly unhinged AI side projects by night. Based in Stockholm.

## About

I’m a senior software engineer at Grafana Labs, working on the datasource plugins that connect Grafana to the systems people monitor. Most days that means TypeScript, Go, end-to-end tests, and keeping releases pleasantly boring.

Before Grafana I was a senior frontend developer at FDJ UNITED (formerly Kindred Group), working on KSP and AI projects for Unibet, and the frontend lead at Deepwaters, where I built the exchange from scratch along with its CI/CD and end-to-end testing. I started as a UI developer in Gurgaon in 2014 and have been shipping web interfaces ever since.

Outside work I volunteer at Stockholm developer meetups run by Baaboom and Couchbase, and I build side projects like Akkivo, a PDF editor that never uploads your files.
