This page is about me. If you were not searching for a programmer, honest marketer, gardener, photographer or for me specifically you will probably be better of leaving at once and not wasting your time.

I'm Currently Working as a Senior Software Engineer and Team Leader at Comsel System

I currently work as team-leader for the Software development work at Comsel System. I coordinate the work on sofware for terminals and data transfere protocols used in automatic mater reading systems and building automation.

In 2000 I was employed by Comsel System as a Software Engineer working mainly on the embedded system platforms but also on protocols and windows tools.

In 2000 I graduated with a B.Sc in Electrical Engineering from Swedish Polytechnic, Finland where I studied programming, electronics and electrical distribution networks. I attended this school from 1996-2000.

From 1999 to 2000 i did my degree work for Comsel System designing a web based interface for the remote data monitoring and control system. I also made a communications library for the in house SPCP data transfer protocol.

In the summer 1999 I worked at the Vasa Centralsjukhus hospital in the service department repairing medical machines and computers. I also had the not-so-inspiring task of checking everything for year 2000 readiness, even coffee makers and nonelectrical tools.

In the summer 1998 I worked for Wärtsilä Diesel Finland doing project related CAD Design of Engine Electrical Systems and development of software tools for the Medusa CAD system.

Years 1993-1995 I went to high school in my hometown of Vasa in Western Finland.

Online Activites

In 2003 I started consider Internet Business as a way of getting some extra money. The following is a list of some of the start-up websites I operate.

Byholm's Clothing and Gifts - This is my first online business venture and I'm still waiting for it to become profitable. It does however pay for it's own hosting and advertising fees.

Photos From Finland is a gallery of nature and landscape photos from the Finnish west coast where I live with my wife Hanna and our daughter Rosa. You can see the photos on the site and also buy posters framed prints with some of them.

MilesGallon.com - The is the first website I have started "the right way", by first doing marketing research and having a business plan. It's a site where anyone can calculate the mpg value of their car, mc or whatever. It's also a place where you can learn how to save fuel without buying any of the snake oil fuel saving devices on the market.
