A sporadic stream of life updates.
Now
March 2026
Right now, I’m working at an interesting crossroads of recruitment, AI, and graph structures. It’s something I find really compelling, though I can’t share many details yet.
Alongside that, I am exploring different levels of AI-augmented software development, trying to find a level of confidence where it holds and where it breaks. I am also building something that I think is missing: a concrete upskilling path for senior consultants and architects who have no real AI experience but need to stay relevant and are ambitious to explore the value of AI-driven systems and capabilities. Not a course. Not “I built this internal tool to get something AI on my resume”. Proven value. Tangible results. It doesn’t exist yet in any form I’d stand behind. I am trying to build it.
Beyond any specific project, I keep coming back to the idea of AI augmentation—what it means beyond just chat interfaces. Using AI to support thinking, not replace it: to help validate, challenge, and check my reasoning before I commit to it. There’s a real difference between a tool that extends your thinking and one that replaces it. I’m not sure people are making that distinction yet, but I believe it’s more important than most conversations recognize.
I’m not feeling very grounded at the moment. Leksands IF is fighting to stay in the SHL, and that weighs on me—not with anger, but as a steady, low pressure. Parts of my professional life feel unstable, too. The world keeps doing what it does, and uncertainty feels costly when it’s all happening at once.
What I’m not doing enough of is writing, sharing, taking notes, and reading regularly. I’m aware of this, and it’s on my to-do list.
As of March 2026, I’m trying to figure out where I’m headed.
April 2025
It’s Easter weekend, and cherry blossoms are fully blooming in Stockholm. Spring has finally embraced this part of Sweden, and everything, including me, is slowly coming back alive again.
After a long, exhausting stretch at work, I finally feel like I’m waking up again. It’s been a tough couple of years — but now there’s curiosity, energy, and momentum again.
Over the past year, I’ve been focusing on building generative AI systems for an undisclosed client. This prompted me to dive into Python after 15+ years working with .NET and C# and sparked a new interest in linguistics and semantics and a new intersection between software development, architecture, and data science.
Currently reading: The Coming Wave by Mustafa Suleyman.
Lately, I’ve been curious about combining knowledge graphs with generative systems. That interest goes back to 2021 when I started using Obsidian and got hooked on discovering unexpected connections between ideas.
One of my aims right now is finding a workable balance between analytical depth and speed of output. I’m learning how to balance when analytical depth is needed and speed of output is desired. This resonates with my other “areas of improvement,” like growing my strategy and communication skills. Right now, I’m trying to write every day, even when it’s rough. The focus is simple: more output.
Over the last year, I’ve picked up photography again. I’ve been periodically photographing over the last twenty years, but I started with intention last year. Right now, I’m drawn to contemporary photography, like documentary or street photography, which finds beauty in the mundane. I think it is a required countermeasure to all artificially generated content.
