About Me
Hi! I'm Marcus, born in 1983 in the deep, dark woods of Småland, Sweden. My love for computers started early, thanks to an older neighbor who let me play on his Atari and Amiga 500. My parents are tech geeks too, so our house was always filled with gadgets. We had the original Nintendo and got a PC before most people even knew what that was. I spent countless hours exploring games, learning how things worked, and occasionally breaking stuff just to see if I could fix it again.
My childhood was a bit of an adventure. I spent some years in Waterloo, Belgium, where I went to the Scandinavian School of Brussels. Living abroad opened my eyes to new cultures, languages, and friendships. After Belgium, we moved to Gustavsberg, just outside Stockholm, where I joined the music class at Nacka Musikklasser. Music was a big part of my life, and I loved being surrounded by creative people. Then came Gothenburg, a city full of energy and inspiration, and eventually I found my way to Uppsala, which has been home ever since. Each move brought new experiences and helped shape who I am today.
When I'm not busy coding or exploring new tech, you'll probably find me enjoying a craft beer with friends, watching movies or binge-watching TV shows, or getting lost in a good game. I'm passionate about programming and always curious about how things work, whether it's the latest JavaScript framework or a classic video game console. I love connecting with fellow enthusiasts, whether we're talking about code, hops, or pop culture. If you ever want to chat about tech, music, beer, or just share a good movie recommendation, I'm always up for it.
Thanks for stopping by and getting to know me a little better. If you're interested in collaborating, geeking out over technology, or just want to say hi, don't hesitate to reach out!
