JENS NYBERG
Embedded Engineer / Software Developer / System Architect
What characterizes me is that I have always loved computers. I picked up programming as a child and I've never got tired of it since. I just love making things. My intense will to learn has given me a broad understanding of anything software related. By failing more times than I can count I think I have learned what works and what doesn't. I read the litterature, I understand the art. I am always happy to help. I want to be part of something great.
I love my girlfriend, my daughter and our cat. Friends and family are important to me. I also like golf.
