I'm 28 years old, living in Göteborg on the west coast of Sweden. I'm an athlete and a web development professional who likes technology, gadgets and design as well as traveling to all parts of the world and meet interesting people. That's about it...

After high school I worked as a web design teacher for almost a year before starting my studies at Chalmers University of Technology here in Göteborg. Since I did enjoy the life as a student and because it was possible to combine that life with my athletics career, I've stayed in school a little longer then most people do.

I started my university studies in 1999 and graduated in 2006 with a Masters of Science (MSc) in Electrical Engineering and another MSc in Informatics specializing in Business Technology. I only had a couple of months off while traveling to Australia together with Beatrice in 2002.

Nowadays I work at Republic Factory, a design and communications bureau here in Göteborg, as well as with my own company called Sandin Design. I develop all kinds of applications and material for the web, and like to be involved in both the creative parts like interaction design, graphics design and usability as well as the more technical development process. Check out the Education and Work page if you're interested in the details.

I really enjoy living in Göteborg, it's not too big, neither too small, and it's close to most friends and family. And, Sweden is a great country to live in. However, since my family and I got so many friends in Australia it almost feels like a second home, and I've been there about 5-6 times... and I'll be back - for sure!

About this web site

February 19th, 2007

I have decided to writing in English, but some news in the journal will still be in Swedish. The goal is to present a web site, inspired by a minimalistic design, and write about my athletics career as well as my interests in technology and design. At the same time, now and then commenting on what's going on in the world today.

Working for the Syndicate?

If you're interested, there's an RSS-feed avalible here. If you would like to learn some more about feeds and RSS make a search at Google or start out by reading Dave Shea's introduction to RSS and syndication.

Fire Desire Feed

One of the main reason I decided to change the layout of the site and implement this blog oriented design is that I'm working on my own little CMS for web sites. It's currently called Fire Desire Feed and is still in a development phase.

Accessibility

I try to keep my websites as accessible as possible, both my personal ones and the ones I develop professionally, so here's a quick guide to this site:

The website is valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional and uses CSS to style the elements, this means that it should be accessible to most people no matter what way they browse the Internet.
