Who I Am |
|||
Well,
this is me (on the right). As you can tell from the nifty logo (above), my
name is Erik Isaksson. I'm Swedish, born in the town of Örebro on
February 26, 1972. I spent the earlier years of my life in a small place
called Malung, with my parents
and my older sister. At the age of three, we moved to Grödby. This Grödby-place
is situated somewhere in the dark forests between Swedens largest city
and capital, Stockholm, and another
really nice place on the east-coast, Nynäshamn.
In August '91 I moved my butt to Linköping
to study and I'm still here.
During my studies I lived together with seven other students in "the corridor" and had lots of fun. Since May '97 I got a place of my own though, in "downtown" Linköping. Between 93 and 94 I spent 11 months doing my military service in Luleå in the northern (and rather cold) parts of Sweden. On June 21, 2002, at a midsummers party at a friends place in the southern parts of Sweden, I met this girl Katrin (on the left). Today Im proud to call her my girlfriend; unfortunately she lives on the west-coast (or best-coast as she keeps telling me), in a place called Fjärås, which also is a rather small place situated 35 kilometers south of Swedens second-largest city, Gothenburg. Its some 300 kilometers between Linköping and Fjärås, which means we dont see each other that often.

What I Do For a Living |
|||
I'm
a software engineer at Sectra
Communications AB in Linköping (to the right), and have been working
there since September '97. Recently I've been involved in a project to make a combined GSM and DECT phone equipped with military strength encryption for the Swedish defense. This means I get to do some embedded systems programming, mostly low level C and Assembler. And I get paid to do it! It's really neat! To the left is a 3D Studio MAX model of the phone, or Tiger as it's called.

What I used to do |
|||
Before I came to Sectra, I've been studying for a M.Sc degree in Computer Science and Engineering at Linköping Institute of Technology for some five years. As you could guess, I still have an account there at Lysator. My graduate project, with the title A 3D Studio MAX plug-in for frame-by-frame recording of uncompressed video, was carried out at Pääbo Consulting Group (PCG AB), a small computer graphics company here in Linköping. If you're interested in 3D Studio MAX or other Autodesk or Kinetix products, take a look at PCG OnLine. Another interesting company where I've helped with some programming, is Innitor AB in Hultsfred. If you're interested in Computer and Network security applications, visit them at Innitor AB.
