About me

My name is Magnus Wahlstrand. I am a software engineer, based in Stockholm, Sweden. I love programming, and I run my own company, 32 Bytes.

I enjoy developing things that are easy to maintain and observe long term. If shortcuts are needed, I believe in taking the time to clean up afterwards to keep the quality of the code base high over time.
