Simple, and nothing we don’t need.
The simplest solution that works, and nothing we don’t need today. KISS and YAGNI, in other words. It keeps the code easy to change and the pace up.
Consultant · software delivery, architecture and AIMats Jakobsson
I get teams and platforms delivering often, safely and faster than anyone expected.
Avesta, Sweden · 25 years in software · with Scimus since 2001
Right nowCo-founder of VeliSpec. I’m also in talks about a new engagement: modernising an established platform and picking up the pace of delivery.
How I work
Rules where it has to be right, AI where it helps.
Anything that has to come out the same every time gets deterministic automation. I bring in AI where judgement is needed and where it saves time.
Small steps, often.
Ship often and you can steer by what actually happens. Big, rare releases mostly come down to crossed fingers. At iBinder we averaged 3.5 production changes per working day.
What I work on
It all starts with delivery. Everything else ripples out from there.
Delivery
Getting what the team builds to its users often and at a steady pace, without the drama.
Architecture
Frontend and solution architecture that holds up as the product grows, with microservices and micro-frontends where they earn their place.
Ways of working and flow
Lean, clear ground rules and tooling that cut out the waiting between an issue and production.
Automation and AI
Automated flows around issues, pull requests and reviews, with AI built in where it genuinely saves time.
Modernisation
Renewing established platforms and ways of working while the business keeps running.

It started with a dream of making games
I’ve loved computers since I was a kid. My dad worked at Hewlett-Packard and I dreamt of making games. That feeling of getting a machine to do something that looks like magic has never left me.
A technical upper-secondary programme in computing in Forsmark and engineering studies in information technology at Uppsala University turned the interest into a job. I’ve been part of Scimus since 2001 and own the company today. I’m also one of the founders of VeliSpec.
Nothing beats a client’s jaw almost hitting the floor, because it went so fast or because we solved the problem better than they’d imagined. Often by not doing exactly what they asked for. I’m at my best when a driven team is pushing hard towards production together. At iBinder, my colleagues twice voted me team player of the year.
Away from work I train at the gym and run in phases. I’ve done two marathons and a 1:37 half, but what I’m proudest of is 5 km in under 20 minutes. The rest of my time goes to family and loved ones, concerts and the outdoors.
