Profile

I build things that help people decide.

Most of what I have built helps people make better decisions. I have been building software since 1997, and I still get excited when a new technology changes what one person can make: I like to get in early, take it apart until I understand it, build something real with it, and then show others how.

I build the systems myself, I explain them to the people who will use them, and I have led the companies around them: Boreda, whose valuation system now lives on at MSCI, and Propstreet, where I built the platform and its agent. Today I am building Loggad entirely through autonomous agents.

Experience

Companies I have built and worked in.

Founder · Monotio AB

Product development and technology consulting

Jan 2017–present

My consultancy, through which I develop products and deliver talks, workshops and shorter consulting engagements. Propstreet was my principal assignment until August 2026; since September 2026, I have been working full-time on Loggad.

Founder · Loggad

Product development through Monotio

Sep 2026–present

Developing a digital service journal for homes, vehicles and machinery. The aim is to keep an object's history, documents and practical knowledge useful through maintenance and changes of ownership.

Every line of code is written by autonomous agents. I build the factory they work in, including a panel of simulated users who test the product and feed their findings back into development. The agent architecture covers durable execution, recovery, tenant isolation and cost accounting.

Co-founder & CTO · Propstreet

Commercial real estate platform · Assignment through Monotio

2017–Aug 2026

Continuing board member

  • Built the platform that matches brokers' commercial property deals with investors' acquisition strategies: data models, web application, integrations and production operation.
  • Designed the matching engine, which calculated how relevant each deal was for each investor from location overlap, property type, deal size and development potential. Added language models and embeddings in 2023, so investors could describe what they want in their own words and language, and still be matched.
  • Built an MCP interface and an in-app agent for customer workflows and scheduled tasks. Turned customer feedback into a split-screen workspace where people can watch the agent work, follow changes live and carry on in the product themselves.
  • Designed permission-aware tools, reversible changes and approval for irreversible external actions. Evaluated behaviour through deterministic checks, structured-output validation and model-based assessment.
  • Developed automated company-news monitoring and improved its reliability and cost efficiency through model selection, enforced search limits, spending controls and regression tests.

AI talks and workshops

Delivered through Monotio

2025–present

Practical sessions for e-commerce, fintech and SaaS companies, combining demonstrations, explanation and opportunities to experiment. One company invited me back for demonstrations for around fifty developers and an afternoon hackathon; its teams went on to use agent workflows for issue triage, production-log analysis and code review.

Invited speaker at BATIBOUW Business Insights / Solvay Brussels School in 2025. Talks and workshop formats.

Financing Adviser · Almi Företagspartner Väst

Gothenburg

Mar 2014–Dec 2016

Business Developer · Värderingsdata

After Värderingsdata acquired Boreda, I stayed on to develop the product and joined the board and management team. The product is now part of MSCI.

VD Pro's move to MSCI

Co-founder & CEO · Boreda AB

Property valuation software for banks and real estate professionals
