About

*** To all readers: Do not send me network invites unless we: A. Have met in real life B. We have an already existing work relationship. Thank you for keeping LinkedIn professional and not indulging in network spam. *** Entrepreneur at heart, I live to invent. I have a hackers mentality, which basically means I cannot look at anything without breaking it down in my mind of figuring out how it works, why it exists in the first place, and how I might improve on it. That goes for software, business models, processes, human behaviour, and well, life the universe and everything.

  • Aarhus University (1 yr)
    • Release Manager
      Jun 2015 - Mar 2016 · 10 mos

      Hired part time for managing the release of the different VDM tools developed by Aarhus University and partners, primarily via research grants. Currently our focus is on the INTO-CPS project, a Horizon 2020 project (http://into-cps.au.dk/). I have followed the VDM tools development at Aarhus University for many years and find it very fascinating. Doing this little extra job is primarily just for fun, but it is also an interesting task managing the release processes. Current focus is on unifying project release and documentation processes and improving automation of builds and testing. The main goal is to get all the tacit knowledge converted to explicit knowledge. Even though I expect and hope to hold this little position for many years, the point of it all is to make myself obsolete, as that would mean the process is effective as possible.
