HELIOS — the payment ledger — burns at the center. Seven planets hold the record:
who I am, where I have worked, what I studied, how I operate, what I shipped,
how to reach me, and where this is going. Click a planet to land on it.
Systems developer based in Borlänge, Sweden, working remote-first on CET. The last five years were not a gap but a deliberate, high-intensity immersion laboratory in AI systems, generative tooling, formal verification, cryptographic ledgers, and production edge infrastructure — resulting in 150+ live Cloudflare Workers and 50+ fully shipped systems.
The through-line: systems that cannot afford to lie — deterministic refusal and cryptographic provenance over fluent improvisation.
EXPERIENCE
Independent Systems Developer — 2022–present
Remote-first · Daily AI systems work
Daily work across models, experiments, and production systems: 150+ live Cloudflare Workers, 50+ fully shipped systems.
Built HELIOS, a tamper-evident payment ledger (8,043-line Cloudflare Worker, MIT, 71 commits) settling a 17-service agent economy: Ed25519-signed, hash-chained entries, atomic balances with supply-cap and reserve checks, ~50 documented API routes, strict token auth, idempotent writes, federated topology (v5.2.0, 668 records, 501 Merkle nodes, 2 peers; offline harness: 10,000,000 entries in 29.3 s).
Built deterministic authorization (CONE), self-healing coding harnesses, deterministic policy kernels, formal origins research, agent-economy infrastructure, QC research tooling, and transparency standards — all inspectable via live endpoints and open repositories.
Clas Ohlson — approx. 2018–2022
IT support stack, multi-thousand-employee retailer · Small team
Operated the support stack: network, DNS, Active Directory, printers, billing and economy systems (including business-critical processes on 1980s-era Raindance), and warehouse management.
Left in 2022 for full-time independent AI and systems work.
Bahnhof — approx. one year (before Clas Ohlson)
Commercial ISP environment
Network troubleshooting with a focus on DNS and DHCP under real customer load.
Oslo, Norway — five years
Following early studies
Formative period of independent technical and cultural development; built self-reliance, adaptability, and breadth before returning to Sweden.
EDUCATION
Santa Barbara City College — Media
Composition, narrative structure, and audience perception. Trained the eye: how information is framed, sequenced, and received.
Folkuniversitetet Falun — IT Infrastructure
Networks, systems administration, and the operational substrate. Trained the hands: how services stay reachable, named, and running.
Daily practice — 2022–present (no graduation date)
Shipping production Workers, writing machine-checked proofs, and operating AI systems every day. Shipping working systems is the examination.
OPERATOR PROFILE — HOW I WORK
AI steering: daily AI operator since 2022; extracts maximum signal from frontier models under tight constraints and steers them to precise, high-value outputs at volume.
Conversational agility: holds multi-threaded technical context (protocol, ledger, proofs, network) across long, dense sessions; pivots between architecture, debugging, and formal detail mid-conversation.
Vocabulary density: speaks each layer natively — Ed25519/Merkle at the ledger, D1 state machines at the edge, DKIM/DHCP on the wire, Lean 4 in proofs.
Information throughput: dense, exact briefs in, verified systems out.
Work hunger: durable drive to make systems more reliable, transparent, inspectable, and useful.
Clear-eyed AI optimism: real risks understood; paralysis and fatalism treated as failure modes; builds infrastructure that makes beneficial outcomes more probable.
End-to-end ownership: from Lean 4 formalization and cryptographic design to Workers, Durable Objects, D1, and multi-service agent economies. Does not stop at the prototype.
Inspectability: live endpoints, open repos, machine-checked proofs, re-runnable scripts, graded claims.
Remote-first systems and backend roles with high ownership — edge infrastructure, payments and ledger systems, email deliverability, AI agent tooling, and production TypeScript / Cloudflare Workers work. Based in Borlänge, Sweden (CET): full EU overlap, US Eastern mornings by arrangement.
What I bring: 150+ live Cloudflare Workers in production, payment and escrow systems handling real money, DKIM email infrastructure at scale, machine-checked proofs in Lean 4, and a commercial fleet of paid Swedish monitoring and audit products. Every claim links to something live.
