Anders Ringqvist

I see myself as a Web Standards Evangelist. As a master of the holy trinity - HTML, CSS and JavaScript, I have waged war against unholy spaghetti code for 16 years, participated in the crusade against table-based layouts, the persecution of the spacer gif, and the eradication or the LAYER element. On top of that, I am an expert in browser issues solving and an enlisted Code Medic during the divitis and classitis pandemics that raged after the table crusade. At the moment, I’m at the besiegement of IE6 and if all goes well, this behemoth will soon fall.

What do I do when I am not a proud nerd? Well, I am still being a proud nerd – the only difference is that you have probably seen me on my Ducati motorcycle. 2

Andreas Kristiansson

During my years as a craftsman in the world of software, I have experienced a joy of meeting many clients and teams. I’ve felt the adrenaline when struggling with challenges, and the rush when succeeding and growing as an individual.

My passion is to make individuals and teams grow by giving them the best tools possible. I just love my work and what we are creating at tretton37. A company created by developers for developers, and with a very strong focus on each individual.

I have a beautiful wife and two lovely kids at home, and many kids at tretton37.

Andreas Nilsson

When I'm not reading about new technologies or trying out new frameworks, I spend my time at the golf course (when the weather allows for it) or in the gym. These activities suits me perfectly, because when I'm walking up to that 250m drive, or catching my breath after bench-pressing 100kgs (-40...), I utilize these small moments to think about my current projects. Those moments often generate small chunks of code or solution epiphanies. The hard part is to remember those eureka-bursts and bring them to work the next day...

Björn Handell

Through my career, I have gone by the axiom that the first delivery is the easy part, the real trick is to perform in such way that we are invited back again and again by the customer. I try to adhere to the customer’s wishes, but once in a while I disagree and challenge customer’s perception and try to find a new way of thinking/acting.

Finding new ways is a nice way of describing rule breaking, which at times may be not only desirable, but also necessary. At tretton37, we challenge old ways in order to make the future a better place. On a personal level, I am married and have two sons. When the schedule permits, I devote as much time as possible to a 3 decades long passion for Skateboarding (mostly Transition & Vertical, but all kinds of board riding are cool).

Björn Johansson

Working as a consultant has taught me to quickly adapt to clients different needs and systems. I am always striving to be a better developer and the more things I learn, the more I realize how little I know. When writing and designing code I always go with the gut feeling, that usually ends up being the right choice.

Among my hobbies one really stands out. I am trying to build an intelligent home. Honestly, I think it is getting rather stupid. It is just a matter of time before something goes terribly wrong and the fridge starts making demands like: "I need your clothes, boots and your motorcycle!”

Christian Andersson

I'm a strong believer in hard work, and I never quit once I get my mind set on something.

At leisure, you are most likely going to see me somewhere around Helsingborg where I currently live with my girlfriend and our three-year-old Rottweiler. I'll probably either be hanging out with friends, walking our dog, or running and getting ready for my upcoming marathon.

Christian Olsson

During my six years in the IT business, I have worked very closely with the development, testing and processes of information systems, which gave me a very good insight in what it takes for a product to be successful and generate value.

This experience has been used in different roles where I have handled stakeholders, planned for product road-maps, and guided teams developing the product. My attitude to my work is the same as to my everyday life: keep it simple and keep it fun. Focus should be on the solution - not the problem - and in my opinion there is a solution to everything.

Deniz Yildirim

Last winter, somebody in California asked me what was the most extreme sport I’ve done so far. I answered immediately that it’s doing business in the IT-industry. He laughed. And I don’t know if he actually got what I meant. What I was trying to say is that in all extreme sports, you get a temporary rush of adrenaline and the kick will eventually disappear within max one hour after the activity is done. If you deal with this, you’ll just enjoy the permanent rush 24/7 and for life. You become a junky!

Yes, I believe I’ve become a junky. Over the last year, while I was taking a break from the industry, I realized that I love my job and I love IT-industry. I already knew it but I’ve never thought that I would miss it so much. I’m telling you, I’ve seriously had some hard time fighting against my abstinence from creating something big!

I do enjoy being in this dynamic business that changes everyday. I love being in touch with so many creative and driven people around me. I love creating new things, helping our clients and working under extreme stress and pressure. I enjoy having a role with a lot of responsibility and working within a team that has a common goal and purpose in life.

So, if I’m not getting my daily dose of adrenaline at tretton37, you can see me jumping from airplanes, diving in caves, or on my motorbike riding to some undiscovered destination.

Dogan Alkan

It has been a few years ago since I first started exploring system development. This was an eye-opening experience and at that point, my life has turned upside down. In a good way.

I found my passion and devoted most of my time to learning new things as a software developer. I am convinced that being active in my professional environment or in the gym is equally important. After all, there is no active mind without an active body.

Emil Giljam

For the last couple years, I've had the privilege of taking on multiple roles within the same project. Starting with requirements, I eventually moved to development with the team, then to multi-national pilots.

Currently we're enjoying the crescendo: a very successful global rollout! To recharge, I like spending my time in the kitchen. A nice dinner among friends gives me all the energy I need to create another masterpiece.

Enrico Campidoglio

Erik Juhlin

I've spent the last 10 years building products for e-commerce and web content management and have worked on some of the largest e-commerce projects in Sweden. Being a consultant/ninja is a lot different but also a lot of fun. And it's nice to see that the skills and experience I've gathered come to good use. I like clean code, low friction architecture and I always try to think of the guy coming after me to work with the code.

I'm a skateboarder at heart, but don't go out and ride as much as I would want to. I'm also a big football fan and my girlfriend and I go to Olympia to see most of Helsingborg IF's home games (she's a bigger HIF fan than me). My team is Barcelona...

Erik Stoy

Fredrik Källbäck

Fredrik Leijon

I’m a developer that always is looking for a fun challenge. I’m not religious when it comes to frameworks, languages or patterns, I use what will give me the best result, this has lead me to working on projects ranging from C# and Java to Ruby and C.

When I’m not at our customers writing epic code and solving the problems of our world I make things, everything from smart phone apps and websites to electronic gadgets and shell scripts.

Fredrik Nilsson

I consider myself to be a positive and very social person who defines success as being able to make other people happy regardless if it’s family, friends, customers or fellow colleagues.

With great communication and organizations skills, I focus on finding business value, software requirements and making sure things proceed as planned. During my years in different areas of the IT business I have learnt the importance of high quality and business value. Whatever I’m doing I always try to challenge and develop myself, regardless if it’s learning new knowledge, working out or following the equity market.

Work should be fun and I like the saying “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

Hassan El-saabi

I’m an experienced .NET-developer with more than six years of experience. What drives me is the passion and eagerness of learning new technologies and new ways of solving problems. During my time as a developer I have completed some of Microsoft’s Certified Professional diplomas such as MCPD: Enterprise Application Developer and MCPD: Web Developer.

In my spare time I like reading books, exercising, building computers and meeting with friends and family.

Jim Kangerud

I am a proud nerd, enthusiastic about taking up new challenges, both at work and in life. My friends describe me as a true team player with endless passion and curiosity for technology.

Ambitions to absorb as much knowledge and experience as possible, make adventures a part of my everyday life. Anything you can imagine, from developing assembler to scuba diving and riding motorbikes.

Joel Sannerstedt

I have a background in political science but made the switch to the IT field a couple of years ago, when I decided to make my hobby my work. My main driving force when it comes to software development is the problem solving aspect; to understand and model real life problems and solving them with code.

In my spare time I like to go the gym and I'm also quite passionate about football, both as a fan and as a player. Few things are as satisfying as seeing your team perform above expectations, that goes for both on the football field as well as with development. I believe that the whole, truly, can be greater than the sum of its parts.

Johan Hyldentong

With an ever present interest in computers and technology my career path came naturally to me. I aim to deliver high quality solutions by producing clean and maintainable code, preferably using agile methodologies.

My spare time is mostly spent riding my motorcycle, either on track, or on the winding roads of the countryside. Unfortunately our long winters aren't very suitable for riding, but that only means more time to catch up on new technologies.

Lotta Berg

Magnus Krona

Coming from product development at one of Sweden’s biggest ISV of Content Management Systems for almost a decade, I have seen the web evolve and contributed to better corporate web sites and systems. New tools, techniques and patterns have seen the light and I'm always curious to see how they can help me and make me a better programmer.

I never stop dreaming, whether it is to build the perfect system, standing on the big scene with my band, or sinking the winning putt at the US Masters. Of course, one of these dreams immediately comes to mind...

Magnus Nilsson

I'm a driven IT professional who strives to improve no matter what the task or the challenge is; whether building an application, writing a specification or drawing on the whiteboard.

Solving problems creatively and making work or life easier for others are what I love the most.

I perform best by working with other people, where knowledge sharing and team spirit provide the building blocks for greatness. Working with me, you'll inevitably get to learn obscure music trivia, the science of storytelling and which horror movie has the best villain. Things that really have little bearing on work, but that make life good.

Magnus Sjöstrand

To repair broken things, or disassemble the fully functional things to see how they worked before disassembly, has always interested me. In a perfect world I might even try putting them back together again. Therefore, it feels natural for me to work as a software developer and problem solver. To be able to sleep well at night, I strive to make customers satisfied.

Outside work I spend time with my family. When it comes to my spare time I like to drive motorcycles or thinking about how the whiskey in my next cask will taste when it is finished.

Marcus Malmgren

I am an ambitious and dedicated software developer with 7 years of experience. Working mostly directly with customers shaped me into a very responsible and service-minded individual with the leading-edge expertise in C# development of systems with data access. Programming is great fun and it always grabs my interest and enthusiasm.

I like to learn and master new things continuously. In my spare time, I enjoy being with my fiancé, family and friends. And I especially love to beat my colleagues in squash.

Marcus Olsson

Product development has thought me the importance of writing maintainable code. My way of working is agile, and my goal is continuous improvement. Actually, learning and getting better are the two main things I always strive for.

I can overcome any challenge with the use of C#, ruby, python, javascript, vb.net, c/c++, or any other language that helps me find the most optimal solution.

When I am not working, I am building robots, 3D printers, and Internet connected candy machines. Nothing can compete with a well-implemented integration between software, hardware and wetware.

Martin Mazur

I am a citizen of the Internet, Agile evangelist and a code hippie. I spend a lot of time thinking about the state of the software industry and how to improve it.

I love good challenges and try to constantly push boundaries; there is no such thing as impossible! It's important for me to grow and constantly find better ways to make better software. I see software development as a balance between people and technology; it's when you get the perfect mix of both that magic happens. That is exactly when you produce not merely software, but also art.

Martin Thern

I’m driven by challenges with a technical focus on web solutions. My goal is to create business values for my clients and deliver high quality results.

People usually recognize me by my clothing as I like to stick to pink or purple. Before I got into the world of software development, I was a young rock star in a band called “The Playboyz”.

Mattias Josefsson

I love a challenge, it doesn't matter if its an project with a tough time frame and complicated tasks or if its to complete a running course thru rough terrain, mud and swamps whatever it is count me in.

I'm a real teamplayer that loves to work in ambitious teams that work passionately together towards a common goal. I think this comes from my interest in orienteering and multisporting where you often compete in a teams.

I also have a passion for exploring new things, it can be anything from a new framework to a new country. My thirst for knowledge is endless an I'm always planing new trips and reading up in the latest news in the development community.

Mattias Lindahl

I spend my days working with the .NET framework (my favorite framework) building exciting Web solutions for businesses. I always apply the most suitable techniques and principles for the project. When it comes to work techniques, I strongly believe that working together for a common purpose and having all stakeholders understand the purpose is the key to success. To truly cooperate, one must believe that there is no “we,” no “they,” and no “as long as we win.”

In my free time, you can find me working on open-source projects, reading about patterns, or discovering new possibilities in the vast .NET framework. When I suppress the nerd in me, I love to go out and discover the world under the sea. Doing an activity like scuba diving off the coast of Sweden with a couple of friends or discovering the beauty of an exotic country always makes me feel alive and helps me appreciate the small things in life. I am also interested in home cinema solutions and building very intuitive infrastructures between all home devices. Then, of course, I enjoy using those devices to watch the latest movies and TV series.

“Live long and prosper.”

Oskar Hülphers

Have you ever met a social and engaging systems developer with great agile and TDD preferences? Well, that’s me. Besides having my best skills within web development with .NET, I also value self-explanatory and easily readable code.

My never-ending curiosity drives me to investigate and get to know the client’s processes and value chains.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing guitar, piano or PS3 with my friends. I’m a strong believer in the fact that too much of everything enjoyable can be quite wonderful!

Patrik Svensson

Per Dervall

Coming from a long period of product development I have developed a keen sense of maintainability while still maintaining my exploratory roots. I have experience at nearly all levels of software, from low level assembly to high order .NET and have yet to find something that did not catch my interest in any way. Software is a thing of beauty.

I'm a builder at heart, not just of software but of nearly everything interesting to me under the sun. I love to jump head first into a completely unknown area, absorbing all information and master its secrets. If someone else can do it, I can too!

Per Noalt

I've now worked more than 10 years in the IT industry in a wide range of roles. I started out as a web developer back in the golden days of the dot-com-era before moving on to IT operations in a large enterprise environment. In the last couple of years I've been able to return to my core passions as a (web) software developer.

I'm generally nuts about most things "IT" but my two main passions these days would probably be pragmatic software architecture and information security. I love reading about, yakking about and experimenting with the latest patterns and practices in software development. Because I'm a little paranoid (don't worry - it's the good kind of paranoia!) I really like learning about and working with information security, or in other words, the ugly and all too often over-looked side of IT.

After living in Malmö for more than a decade I've just moved back to Lund with my wife, our two kids and our dog. I love music and movies and I feel that the quiet life of a small town will have a good effect on my health and life-balance.

Peter Ekerot

Being in the IT business since the nineties and taking part of the dotcom boom has taught me that some things change radically and fast and others don't. I love problem-solving, for me, the foundation of problem-solving hasn't changed much. It's not tied to a specific programming language or technology, more of a general idea of describing the problem and finding a viable solution before even picking up your preferred tool.

Over the past couple of years I have been very involved in several SharePoint projects. I have seen the peeks and pits, failures and successes, each project has taught me a new lesson and over time I got better, I learnt. The vastness of the platform and what business problems it can solve is amazing to me, and I strive to get even better every day.

Peter Heiberg

I am a software developer, a coach and a consultant with a passion for technology and craftsmanship.

My desire to learn and share keeps me on the lookout for new and better ways to deliver working software, and I still considering myself a student of the software craft despite being in the business for more than 10 years.

Usually I am analytical, calm and reasonable, except when it comes to my own kids.

Rickard Hinsell

I consider myself as an easy going and positive person who focuses on finding and meeting business needs, delivering at high quality and relate easily to customers, as well as fellow developers.

I’m always curious about new techniques and I’m recently experimenting with dynamic languages whenever I get the chance.

My enthusiasm for sport bikes is on a slight hold right now. I used to ride a sport bike, but then I sold it. Instead of buying a new one, I somehow ended up with a new kitchen. I really miss that bike.

Roger Jakobsson

I don't do back end, but if I did, it would probably be the best back end in the world. As an experienced user interface developer, I love the kick I get when people just "get it".

Mobile applications are a new passion I've taken on recently, with the limited screen size and input methods being a real challenge.

Sasa Stamenkovic

Sebastian Hallén

Have you ever seen The Sting with Paul Newman and Robert Redford? If you haven't, let’s just say it's a classic con movie.  Why am I bringing this up here? Well, I think a software testing has many similarities with well thought out cons. When I do software testing, I want to make the software behave in a certain way in order to get a specific result. Either to verify that it operates in the desired manner, or to try to provoke unwanted behavior.

To achieve this, I have to know how different parts are working individually and together. I must know how to line them up just the right way so I can get to something that previously seemed unreachable.  I learn how something should work, and then I figure out what to do in order to make it fail.  When I'm done with testing for the day, I really enjoy cooking. For me, there is nothing better than having a few friends over for a proper home cooked meal. 

Sofia Samuelsson

I love the feeling that I have when I am about to set sail for a new adventure, be it a strenuous hike in beautiful mountains or a road trip through, for me, unknown territory. Had I not loved my job as a HR-person so much along with the challenges it brings, I would have loved to be a fulltime adventuror. Would be absolutely faboulous to have David Attenborough and Yvon Chouinard tagging along for companionship.

In my work I get to combine law with HR management, two areas I am passionate about. In HR there is always something going on and to be a part of this is quite often an adventure in itself.

Stefan Viberg

During my time as consultant, I have worked on projects at both large and small companies, which has given me a lot of useful experience. I want to expand my areas of knowledge whenever possible and keep up with new things in the industry. I like sharing knowledge with others and I like to work in agile teams. My goal is to accomplish high quality .NET solutions delightfully and effectively using good architecture.

In my spare time, I like to spend time with my wife and daughter. I also like hiking in the Swedish mountains.

Stellan Runander

A day without learning is like a day without sunshine! What I love about my job at tretton37 is that there are many sunny days, due to the fact that my fellow ninjas always strive to share their wisdom. All these sunny days come in handy when I´m mastering the challenges our clients give me.

I am a developer with focus on the SharePoint platform and with this platform come great power straight out of the box. That’s great! But I think that you have to have an open mindset as well regarding the SharePoint platform and challenge it and its traditional norms to show that a SharePoint project too can be handcrafted in an agile way.

When I´m not hanging out in the tretton37 dojo I like to spend time with my girlfriend and friends, especially in combination with fine wining and dining. The word handcrafted is applicable here again. A well handcrafted Italian red wine or Ale from a microbrewery really makes my day.

Thomas Barge

Since my childhood, I have always loved competing, but in a friendly way and always with a smile. I used to spend most of my time in a rowing boat with my teammates. We could easily row 20 hours per week practicing for a race in a regatta that lasted only 5 minutes.

This background has shaped me into who I am today and influenced my professional and personal life. Professionally, I am passionate about building companies and helping people grow and develop. Throughout the years, I have gathered experience from executive management positions in fast-growing private and public companies, with local and international business focus.

In my spare time, I love to sail and ski, and I still optimistically believe that I can beat my kids in downhill skiing. To be honest, I have no chance, but that´s fine. Luckily, I have been their teacher.

I`ve climbed Kebnekaise, walked the Inca trail, and visited the Everest base camp. All this makes me very proud, especially because I have achieved it with my closest team - my family.

Tobias Håkansson

I am an experienced developer and architect specialized in Microsoft .NET technologies targeting enterprise solutions. I am known for my diligence, quality of work and understanding of how to fulfill business needs. These skills also come in handy when I invest in the stock market as a hobby trader. This hobby challenges my analytical knowledge and strategy thinking.

When I want to completely rest my mind, I enjoy hanging out in my allotment cultivating the garden.

örjan Sjöholm

Working and evolving with a product over a long period of time has taught me how to manage divergent requirements without sacrificing product maintainability. This experience helps me to quickly identify the most pragmatic solution to a problem.

I strive to complete my knowledge of the problem domain, to develop together with my team members, keep abreast of the latest experiences within software development and capture a 25-pound monster pike.
