Hi, I’m Daniel Eriksson. I’m currently working as a Tech Lead at Telia Company. Before that, I was working as a software engineer at commercetools.

I enjoy designing and building software and am always learning something new. Whether it’s programming, meditation or anything else.

I write a lot but rarely post, but for technical writing, you might find something on my technical blog.

If you want to learn more about my work history, you can download my resume as PDF or read on below.
