Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, running, reading, and playing the occasional video game.

I live outside of Gothenburg, Sweden with my partner, baby daughter, and our dog.

Late to this one, but just finished Journey. What an amazing little game. Even though it’s pretty old at this point, I ended up finishing part of it together with another player I ran into, which definitely added something to the experience.

I haven’t completed it but I have started modernizing the Apple Mac HIGs here. I have topics on toolbar guidelines and layout guidelines that are detailed, illustrated, and modernized.

🎉 10 years of open source Swift! A decade ago today, we opened Swift to the world with a simple blog post: swift.org/blog/welcome

What's grown since—thanks to an incredible community of contributors—has been extraordinary. Here's to the next ten years. 🧡

Our ongoing bathroom renovation has definitely made me realize that I’m not the kind of person who should buy a home that requires a lot of work. All of the dust everywhere and the overall mess is really bothering me.

I love how you can type something into the search field in the Xcode documentation browser and nothing happens, no loading indicator, no nothing, and then, just when you’re about to start wondering if the window is frozen, the search results pop up.
