This is Me - Freddy

I’m a cheerful and curious IT consultant living in Västervik. After having lived in several places both in Sweden and abroad, it felt genuinely good to return to the east coast a few years ago — to the landscape where my journey first began. Life in Västervik quickly became everyday life in the best possible way, giving me a sense of having settled in the right place.

Over the years, I’ve worked with web development and software quality assurance, primarily within testing and requirements work. I’ve also taught these subjects at universities and vocational programs. The intersection of technology, people, and problem-solving is something I thrive in — and it’s what makes me feel at home in my profession.

As a person, I’m calm, grounded, and attentive to clear communication — ideally with a touch of humour. I’ve always been fascinated by languages. After upper secondary school, I studied German in Linköping, which eventually led me to Germany, where my IT career took off. The interest remains, and today I study Spanish in my free time. I’ve also explored Icelandic, Romanian, Hungarian, and Italian over the years.

Nature is an important part of my life and one of the reasons I chose to move to Västervik. Here, the sea is close and walking paths are just around the corner. I also enjoy spending time with friends, having coffee, watching films, and listening to podcasts. Over the years, my interest in design and interior decoration has grown stronger. Music is also a constant companion — I play the piano and, in recent years, I’ve begun creating my own compositions.
