I currently work as a Linux System administrator at Zitcom A/S. I am also the main driving force behind UnoEuro Webhosting, a project i hold very dear to my heart.
I enjoy discovering, following and using new areas of technology and internet trends. If I see a problem or something interesting I often find it hard not to dig into it and figure out the inner workings.
Over the years this has given me a chance to endevour into many unknown territories and to provide me with a strong toolset to debug and solve obscure annoying problems, and to learn from own and others mistakes. I'm a perfectionist in areas that interest and relate to me, a strong advocate of K.I.S.S and to always try and maintain a short, but steady, path from idea to result.
My preferred way of communication is a simple e-mail.
Thanks for stopping by :)
