RYAN

Programmer, photographer, DJ. I like being creative in multiple ways.

As a kid I was often invited to join my mother at her job at Ericsson and among all machines and computers my fascination for electronics was born. On my 10th birthday I finally got my very own computer to experiment with. Despite sucessfully erasing my harddrive with fips when I was to try Linux I never gave up.

In 1998 I started programming C++ after reading a crash-course in the magazine PC+. The year after I bought the book The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup and on my way home from the store I learned the difference between integers and floating-points.

Over the years I've done frontend and backend, on mainstream-systems like Windows, Linux, and macOS as well as on more obscure platforms like EPOC and BeOS.

I prefer to work in noisy loud-music environments such as bars and night clubs. I'm autistic, bipolar and as of lately also diagnosed with EUPD. In practice this means I'm really good at what I do, I just thrive in non-conventional environments and work in quirky ways. :)

You can read more about how I function in my journal.
