17-18yrs old:

Dropped out of high school to join as a founding team member of Depict.ai (YC S20), which currently is the largest ML company in Scandinavia w ~40 employees.
Was one of two who built our first product recommender system, using both image cnn & other content based techniques

18-19yrs old:

Founded & built hittavaran.com, the largest price comparison site w/ scraping for hand sanitizers and masks in Sweden during covid, generated $24'000 in 3 weeks.
Reached 5% of the Swedish population in impressions on viral-engineered FB posts plugging the site, reaching 32k unique visitors in the first week
At the same time I built & owned the video-call product troubleshooter at Mavenoid, basically zoom but w features such as live painting through webrtc

19-20yrs old:

Recruited to become interim CTO of Curb Food, which was the largest cloud kitchen in Sweden at the time w/ 80 employees
Built a team of 7 engineers from scratch
Launched a full kitchen management system into production in all kitchens

20-22yrs old:

Founding engineer at Dataland (YC), building a developer-first Airtable focused on performance - loading hundred of thousands of rows in seconds
Built search/sort/filter. 5 filters and 5 sorts took 150ms at 200k rows (js is actually super fast when done right. V8s JIT etc is a masterpiece)
Took inspiration from the internal workings of chrome, basically building a browser in a browser. Chrome uses skia internally to paint content, and being written in C++, it can be compiled into webassembly. Wrote the GPU calls in rust. Scrolls & renders rows at 60fps on a x6 cpu slowdown.
