I’m a cloud architect at Elastisys and an adjunct lecturer at Umeå University. I received a PhD in 2012 from INRIA, France. I’m experienced in cloud computing, network engineering and information security. I acted variously as a consultant, practitioner, teacher and researcher. When coming out of the clouds, I work out by playing with my two daughters.
