Initial Commit: Welcome to the New Site

System online. Old infrastructure deprecated.

Created: 2026 October 28

Hello and welcome.

Whether you are a technical recruiter looking for a mathematical engineer with a systems-oriented mindset, or simply curious about computational architecture, mathematics, and software engineering, you are in the right place.

I have given this site a complete facelift to look beautiful and artistic.

The purpose is NOT to write lengthy blogs, this artistic look is therefore acceptable on short notes reflecting how I work and think: where rigorous mathematics meets practical software engineering. My CV and professional history are sometimes up to date, and I created this Journal to showcase what I have built, what I am working on, and the ideas that interest me. To be able to create and edit these pages, I have created my own personal CMS engine in Svelte and SQL that exports into static HTML pages.

The Journal is not exclusively about my own work. It is also a place to explore topics I find interesting, from computational science and mathematical modelling to software architecture, banking and finance. A language selector is available for readers who prefer to explore the content in other languages, they mostly are LLM-assisted translations.


The site is a work in progress and will evolve alongside my projects and interests.

Take a look around, explore what catches your attention, and feel free to get in touch. All the news (or journals as I call it on this site) and projects have tags. Currently there are three types of tags, these types are progress, activity and common. News can only have the common tags but the projects also have the progress and activity tags. The progress tag has the project state and the activity tag labels the project type, such as research or development. There is a links section here and then there is a projects section here. Feel free to explore around this site, I hope you find something of interest.

You may want to peek a bit now and then? If so, welcome again!

All the best,
Mikael
