Work history

From April 2022 to September 2024, I was Director of Simulation Technology Ecosystem at Intel, in Stockholm, Sweden. For the Intel Simics simulator and related technologies.

In Q1 2024 I worked part-time as a teacher at the Information Technology Department at Uppsala University, teaching the class Platform-Spanning Systems.

From January 2016 to March 2022, I worked as a Product Manager Engineer and simulation evangelist for Simics, at Intel, Stockholm, Sweden.

From January 2014 to January 2016, I worked as Product Line Manager for the tools aspect of Simics at Wind River, located in Kista, Sweden.

From 2012 to 2014, I worked as Senior Technical Marketing Manager for Tools and Lifecycle Solutions at Wind River, located in Stockholm, Sweden (which in practice was mostly focused on Simics).

From 2010 to 2012, I worked as Technical Marketing Manager for Simics at Wind River, located in Stockholm, Sweden.

From 2002 to 2010, I worked in a variety of roles (from engineering to sales to marketing) at Virtutech, the start-up that created the full-system simulator Simics. In 2010, Virtutech was acquired by Wind River (and Intel) and I followed the Simics product into Wind River.

Between 2002 and 2005, I was also an Adjunct Professor at the Information Technology Dept. at Uppsala University.

In 2002, I worked as a software developer at IAR Systems in Uppsala, Sweden.

From 1997 to 2002, I was an industrial PhD student at the Information Technology Dept. at Uppsala University and IAR Systems. I basically shared my time between academic research and concrete industrial work. On the industrial side, I developed compilers, and presented on the topic of efficient C programming at industrial conferences and courses. My research was performed within the ASTEC research centre.

From 1992 to 1997, I studied at the Computer Science Programme at Uppsala University.
