## PROFESSIONAL_SUMMARY
I spent eight years at SEB: I architected and led the streaming platform that moved billions of events a day, started the NLP platform, and worked on agentic AI and the future of finance. All of it was bits.
Numbers arriving, numbers leaving, nothing in the world any heavier for it.
Now I run AI and robotics at a stealth energy company, chasing Nordic energy independence, and I work with a few
other stealth ventures adjacent to AI, energy and healthcare. The work is the same instinct with heavier consequences. A bug used to cost a
rollback. Now it costs a technician driving two hours.
Back in 2018, I helped put real-time machine learning to work inside a bank. That early bet taught me that the
model is the start. The real work is getting it into production and keeping it there, and I have loved that part
ever since.
I operate like a founder wherever I am: when I see a problem worth solving, I bring the right people together, make
the case, and ship. That is how I came to architect and lead the bank's streaming platform, carrying billions of events a day.
