Marcus is a software engineer born in the far north of Sweden, any tan that he might have comes from spending too much time on skis in the midnight sun. During his professional career, he has worked in several different fields but the last 20 years in the gaming industry, and the last 11 years at King predominantly working with highly scalable, high throughput gaming backend systems, and more recently as a Technical Director for telemetry and stream processing. He enjoys working in small teams with a strong sense of common direction and in the end seeing the output of that work being used by millions of players across the world. If you do not stop him, he can talk for hours about skiing, the mountains and music.
