Penetration testing

I'm currently enrolled in the program IT-säkerhetstestare at IT-Högskolan and excercising daily at TryHackMe.

It's great fun, but kind of a rabbit hole. There's so much to learn!

Web development

My biggest project to date has been an invoicing solution (SaaS), which I had the privilege of building between the years 2014-2022. I worked with C#, ASP.NET, Entity Framework, IIS and SQL Server, and with Javascript and Knockout.js on the client-side. It was a greenfield project, partially. There was much refactoring and way too many database schema changes. I've also did integrations with the classic Swedish payment services, Bankgirot, and gradual replacement of a legacy system. (Which I've come to respect, in hindsight.)

During this period I had great use for the excellent courses over at Pluralsight.

I'm not doing any web development presently, but if I was, I would probably be knee-deep in React and the clone wars.

Reorienting myself in the fall of 2022 I created a subject/voting -something webapp, called Poplike as a way to get up to speed with ASP.NET Core. (And Clean Code architecture. Ah, regrets!) I even trademarked it. Yay, money well spent!

Programming in general

Having a background in the BeOS community in the 90's, I was part of the open-source community that created the Haiku operating system in the 00's. (Not a Linux.) My contributions were rather humble. I think I came up with the idea of the package filesystem, which turned out good, I think, but different from my simple ideas at the time.

I cut my teeth on the Commodore PET in the late 80's, as a teen, writing the simplest of programs in BASIC. We had a few Apple II at school, which were similar in look and feel. But they were already old at that time. Donations to the school. (I still feel bad for sort of enticing a classmate into reformatting the shared floppy of the senior class. He was a curious guy!) I also shared an Amiga with my older brother, but I didn't use it much. Inexplicably.

Hobbies?

Is there more to this guy?

Well of course there is. But that's a conversation for another time.
