My journey into technology began at a very young age, driven by curiosity about computers and the endless possibilities they offer. It started with hosting and managing servers for online games, which soon turned into building active communities around them. Eventually, I developed websites and forums where players could meet and interact. These early experiences sparked my interest in programming and laid the foundation for my future career in tech.
Currently, I'm in my last year of the Master's program in Information Technology and Engineering at Linköping University, specializing in Secure Systems. Throughout my studies, I've explored areas such as software security, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. Working on various team-based, practical projects has strengthened my collaboration and problem-solving skills. With an analytical approach and a passion for continuous learning, I adapt quickly to new technologies and challenges.
Outside of my studies, I have competed at the top level in Counter-Strike. I qualified for Faceit Pro League (FPL), a closed in-house competitive environment with monthly prize-pool circuits of approximately $20,000, where I played alongside tier-1 professional players. I reached a peak ranking of #387 among millions of players on the global Faceit leaderboard. I also achieved top percentile rankings across multiple other esports titles through consistent performance and strategic thinking. Performing in highly competitive and demanding environments has shaped my ability to stay focused under pressure, work effectively in teams, and continuously improve through analysis and feedback.
