Daniel Hjerpe

Daniel Hjerpe is an engineer, educator and Erlang enthusiast. For as long as he can remember, he has been passionate about building things, which is what got him into programming. He quickly became fascinated by how much you can accomplish with programming. According to Daniel, there really is no limit to what you can build If you own a computer. All you need is a good idea, some time and a good amount of grit!

Daniel holds a M.Sc. from Uppsala university within the field of computational physics. But before pursuing higher education, he worked as a high-school teacher with math as his main subject. Since then, teaching has always been one of his true passions. And he continued with teaching during his time at the university, as a teaching assistant in different programming courses.

Since he graduated, he has been working with everything from compilers and tools for embedded systems to telecom applications. Although he appreciates learning new things, his greatest motivator is being able to share that knowledge with others!
