Background

About Simon Helgesson

I've been working with computers since my father got me a webserver at age 10, started running video game servers from home at age 11, and began making money on the Internet when I was 14. I've studied Computer Science at Linköping University in B.Sc Computer Engineering and M.Sc computer science before I paused my education to work full-time. Accumulated a total of 210hp (about 3.5 years of credits) and a B.Sc grade average of 4.9/5. My main strengths are:+ Very strong logical ability and fast learning, as shown in my far-above-average grades from university.+ High energy and work ethic. I've studied/worked simultaneously at 125-150% of full time for most of my adult life.+ Broad skillset including formal education and training in law, economics, and management in addition to my main area of computer science.+ Ability and experience to hold responsibility and authority. Experience in roles such as project manager, community manager, and mentor.+ Overabundance of experience from having worked with computers since I was aged 10 and having been paid for it starting age 14. Experienced includes working at a major company, a startup company, within an academic/research setting, and independently.
