Electronics engineer, embedded systems developer, and lifelong maker

Who I Am

I’m Micke — an electronics engineer based in Stockholm who has been taking things apart for as long as I can remember and putting them back together — better or worse — since before I was ten. Electronics isn’t just what I do for a living, it’s what I keep doing when the workday is over.

I turned that into a career at 18 and never looked back. Over more than two decades I’ve worked across the full chain of hardware and embedded systems development — from concept and schematic capture through PCB layout, firmware, and PC-side tooling. My background spans ultra-low-power design, mixed-signal hardware, audio systems, and test equipment, with a decade as Senior Electrical Engineer at Exeger.

How I Work

I’m a systems designer and very much a jack of all trades. I’m not the person who goes ultra-deep into one discipline — I’m the one who takes an idea from napkin sketch to a working prototype in hand, handling every step along the way. Schematic, layout, firmware, mechanical fit, PC tooling — whatever the project needs.

I have a habit of spotting friction in a workflow and building something to fix it — automated phone trimming systems, data recovery tools, custom test equipment. If a process is manual and repetitive, I’ll probably end up automating it.

I also enjoy teaching. I designed and ran my own PCB design course at KTH for three years, and mentoring has been a natural part of most roles I’ve held. Understanding something well enough to explain it clearly is, to me, the real proof that you’ve mastered it.

What I Build

Outside of work I keep building — whatever sticks in my brain. Right now that’s differential active oscilloscope probes, a custom soldering station, and various PC-side engineering tools. The subject changes, the urge to build doesn’t.
