Info about me !
My name is Rickard Gunée, I live in Rönninge in Stockholm in the
middle part of Sweden (In northern Europe). I work as an engineer with
electronics/computers, I finished my masters degree in spring of 2001 after
studying at LTH (Lund University, Institute of Technology)
I was born on the 21st of November in 1977 in Stockholm (The capital of Sweden,
in the middle part of Sweden), but my family moved to Lund in 1984 and
I lived there until the spring of 2005 when my girlfriend started to
study in Linköping so we moved there together. In 2008 we moved to Rönninge.
In spring 2001 I started my first job at Anoto,
working with protype/demo hardware and software design. In October of 2003 I started
working at Teleca Sweden South where I worked with
software for mobile phones. When I moved to Linköping I stayed at Teleca but another
part of the company (Teleca Sweden West, later known as ausystems whcih was later bought
by Cybercom) and as a software consultant, mainly for Saab Aerospace working as a
Team Leader / Software Architect for a software module in the sensor system of an
upcomming military helicopter. After moving to Stockholm I started at
HotSwap working as a SW/HW engineer with medtech products.
I've also started my own company, just as a hobby,
whichs major purpose is to sell my electronics projects but also
to maybe do some smaller consultant jobs that can fit into my spare time.
My father, Anders, works as a radio engineer at Perlos, my mother,
Siv, works as mathematics, chemistry and biology teacher at a school here
in Lund called "Järnåkraskolan". I have one brother, Henrik,
who is working with geomatics.
My wife, Åsa, is studying medicine. In June 2006 my wife and I got a
daughter we named Hilda.
Since I was about nine years old, my biggest hobbies have been electronics
and programming. I’ve shared some of my electronics projects on my
electronics projects
page, giving me a lot of feedback from people all around the world who
have built them. A quite new interest of mine that has become a quite important
part of my life is swing dancing (lindy hop to be more specific), which is very
fun and gives a lot of exercise.
I also like carpentry, for example I've built speakers for my receiver,
the ones on the picture at the right here. They are built with pure beech
wood. Working with wood is fun, but as everything else it takes way too
much time.
I like most kinds of music, but for a couple of years I’ve listened to a lot of jazz
and blues because of the Swing Dancing.
I don’t do much sport activities except for the swing dancing, I used
to play golf when I was younger, but had to quit doing it due to lack of
time when I started studying at the University. I like downhill skiing, when I was
younger I used to go to France with my family one week each year skiing. As
my girlfriend likes to cross country orienteering I've started to do that too
sometimes but not very much so far.
I like cooking as it puts me in control of the contents of the food
(There is a lot of food that I don’t like and also some food that I’m
allergic to), and it is much fun to cook too
If you want to know something more about me then send me an email and
ask about it =)
