Summary

Over the years in my carriere I've worked with about every aspect of free software.
My fields of experience has been in areas of system administration, software & solution development, translation (i18n/l10n), project organizing etc.

Besides just professional interest and involvement, I have a very passionate interest in free software and have been participating in several free software projects over the years, where my main involvement has revolved around the Mandriva Linux project.

I'm currently working on a masters degree in the same field.

Some keywords on professional interest: C/C++, Python, R&D, product develoment, free software, low-level, Linux..

Oh, btw., since linkedin kinda sucks when it comes to what information it allows you to make available on your public profile, I'll provide you with my email address here:
