Senior consultant · Sweden / Europe / Remote
Product engineer for connected machines, payment systems and field-ready platforms.
I help companies build, rescue and scale products where hardware, software, payments and real-world users collide. I am most useful when the system has sensors, motors, databases, transactions, dashboards, support pressure and no single person currently sees the whole thing.

Cross-discipline consultant for technical products that have to survive contact with customers, machines and money.
Recruiter summary
Useful where normal job titles break down.
I am not just a software developer, not just a product person and not just a hardware tinkerer. The value is the overlap: translating business risk into architecture, architecture into working code, and working code into systems that can be supported in the field.
Skills that matter when the stack crosses physical and digital reality.
My strongest work happens where disciplines overlap: embedded Linux, payment flows, mobile apps, machine control, databases, reporting, customer accounts and field support. I can move between the boardroom, the codebase and the machine cabinet without needing a translator.
From concept to field hardware
Mechanical thinking, electronics, sensor logic, motor control, Raspberry Pi/Linux builds, kiosk displays, QR readers, relays, service tools and production realities.
Stripe, accounts and transaction logic
Stripe Connect, Payment Intents, app payments, connected accounts, commission logic, reconciliation, secure customer journeys and operational monitoring.
Backend portals and data systems
Python, PHP, LAMP, WordPress plugins, MySQL, SQLite, REST APIs, cloud storage, reporting dashboards, scheduled jobs and field diagnostics.
Apps that talk to machines
iOS, Android, BLE GATT, QR-based workflows, app localisation, customer credit systems and practical operator/user journeys.
Golf range and vending systems
Ball dispensing, credit logic, machine monitoring, payment terminals, dispenser control, usage logs, recovery scripts and remote diagnostics.
Clear thinking under messy conditions
I translate between owners, developers, technicians and customers. That is usually where projects either become useful or quietly die.
How I operate.
Head hunters and clients do not need generic adjectives. They need a signal about behaviour under pressure.
Systems-minded
I instinctively look for the mechanism underneath the visible problem. Machines, data, money flow, user behaviour and support pressure are usually one connected system.
Hands-on
I do not stop at architecture diagrams. I write the code, inspect the logs, test the hardware, debug the field unit and improve the customer-facing process.
Inventive but pragmatic
I like ambitious products, but I respect boring reliability. The thing has to work when a wet, impatient customer is standing in front of it on a Saturday morning.
Service driven
I build systems that reduce friction for real people. Operators need visibility. Customers need a clean experience. Technicians need diagnosable behaviour.
High-value consulting engagements.
I am a good fit when the problem is commercially important, technically mixed and too expensive to keep guessing at.
Find the real risk
Review a product, payment architecture, machine control stack or deployment process and identify the failure points before they become expensive.
Prototype to production
Turn an idea into a working system: hardware behaviour, backend logic, user flow, deployment process, logs and diagnostics.
Stabilise what already exists
Untangle fragile scripts, unreliable machines, broken payment flows, poor observability or undocumented systems already in the field.
Available for selective consulting

Need someone who can see the whole machine?
Send the problem, what exists, what is failing, and what outcome would matter commercially. I am based in Sweden and work across Scandinavia, Europe and remotely.
